Forgive Me
Forgive me for not forgiving you
Forgive me for not seeing it through
And doing all a friend should do
For failing to mention the worst of intentions and not forgiving you

I tried to empathize with what you were going through
Really no surprise that I was deaf and dumb to you
I never came to terms with the lessons you learned and the feeling you felt
I’ve been hating your choice, and I’ve been hating myself

Forgive me wherever you are
In a moat of dust or that old North star
And show me how to heal the scars
Left without intention as I find redemption in forgiving you

It took me years to recognize the fear
Anger clouded what I couldn’t hear
This is a me I’ve never known
Adrift and all alone

Forgive me for not forgiving you
Forgive me for not seeing it through
And doing all a friend could do
For failing to mention the best of intentions
I’ve forgiven you
