FORGIVE

Shall I forgive?

Transgressions and faults,

levied against my heart.

Shall I forgive?

Regressions and falls

from any state of grace.

Shall I forgive?

Oppressions and walls

placed long before my start.

Shall I forgive?

Confessions that slip

and falsely hide your face.

Shall I forget?

Concerns of my heart

tied to recurring lies.

Shall I forget?

Returns to the falseness

time after time and again.

Shall I forget?

Wyverns of decay

eating sight from my eyes.

Shall I forget?

Cisterns full of hope

left unwatched and opened?

Do I expect all to forgive

the mistakes I have made?

Do I expect all to forget

the words I have said?

I wander down the corridors of time

and reflect upon my soul.

And relive all the stories

spoken and those untold.

Fore, to give is to get

forgive and forget.

Forgiveness a must

forgetting a rust.

If you want to be free of guilt and pain

release the chain and ball you freely sustain.
