Forgiveness

I sentenced you to the flames of deep hell.

Deeper than the core of many planets.

I pushed you down the deepest, darkest well.

I crushed you by the forces of granite.

I summoned you to the depths of the sea.

You float, lifeless across the Atlantic.

I showed no mercy; You never showed me.

I wanted to be in love, romantic. 

I set you on fire, burned you alive.

You screamed and pleaded for my forgiveness.

How could I forgive if I could not thrive?

I was angry and you were the witness.

Yet, I gathered the strength to forgive you.

Forgiveness, the eventual breakthrough.
