Perhaps in time
I will learn
to forgive you,
And one day I will
accept you with all
your pride and arrogance.
I was blinded
by your words
and refused to listen
about what others
had to say.
Perhaps it wasn’t my place
To try and change you
into something
you are not.
I tried to bring out
the best in you
but maybe there was none.
Because even in a world
full of good
there is bad,
even in the most darkest
circumstances there is light
and even in the rhythm
of my heart that
no longer pounds...
there is you.
