Can I Forgive?

Blindly I let you manipulate me. 

Showering me with affection one day, 

Then stabbing my heart and watching me bleed. 


You tarnished my soul, piece by piece. Carefree

until the truth slowly pushed me away. 

Blindly I let you manipulate me. 


You lured me back when I decided to leave,

guilt dripping from your mouth like hearsay.

Stab me in the heart and watch me bleed. 


Oh, how your words stung deeply like a bee. 

Now I contemplate why I chose to stay. 

Blindly I let you manipulate me. 


I couldn’t sense it till she came. The Banshee. 

Her deafening wailing causing decay. 

Stab me in the heart and watch me bleed. 


The death of our friendship setting me free. 

My friend, you can no longer pursue your prey. 

I was blind and let you manipulate me. 

My heart is healed and I no longer bleed.
