Forgiven?

Forgiven? I saw you, Framed in springtime sun, And knew you would be mine. How right I was. You were my razor, Untruths slicing through the veins of my hope, Bleeding me dry. Yet I forgave you. You were my nightmare, Waking me up screaming in terror, Betrayed trusts my monsters. Yet I forgave you. You were my poison, Veiled insults slowly rotting me, Destroying me slowly. Yet I forgave you. You were my twisted mirror, Unwarranted anger twisting the reflection Of myself in my soul. Yet I forgave you. You were my torture, Stretching my patience on the rack of your disdain, Until I almost lost control. Yet I forgave you. You were my self-loathing. Teaching me daily that I could never Deserve someone like you. Yet I forgave you. You were my every misery. You did all you could to hurt me, To destroy all that I was, Yet I forgave you. But this, I did not see coming. After all you did, And all I loved you in spite of, You hurt me more. And just when I thought You could hurt me no more, You found the pain, That is deeper than all. You surprised me. This hurt. More than I could have imagined That anything can hurt. And I want to forgive you. When you told me you'd leave me And I wouldn't see it coming, You spoke prophesy. And you made good on your word. And now, you are gone. Forever. I watch as they lay you To rest for eternity, And I ask myself, Who do I forgive now?

Not much to tell, but I am me...purely, unapologetically me. I value honesty and reality in people, and have no time for followers or pretenders. Each person is unique and valuable in their own way, and to minimize that by attempting to be someone...
