I cannot forgive you
    until
I can forgive myself.
    For,
it was I
    who decided
it was safe
    to put my feelings
in your care.

Hey---this one sounds all too familiar to me! Man, I sure know how this feels! Keep this up, the short work is often the best!

All I do, is think about you...

I believe forgiveness of self tends to be much harder than forgiving others. This one made me think and I love it when a writer can do that. Thanks, Ethel
