When I offered you forgiveness
you gave me an odd look

I didn't know then
that you didn't understand what I was saying

You can't accept something you don't understand

I couldn't accept the spite and deception
even though I could see and feel them

I couldn't accept them in you
because those things were not in me

I guess forgiveness is something
that's not in you

You even told me so
but I didn't believe you

How could someone I loved so much
have so many negative things hiding inside

I didn't understand then

I do now

The answer, it seems,

is all too easily.
