Oh the bitter counterblasts
I'll never have the heart
to say to your face.
I wrote them down,
but they'll remain unspoken
even though they're well deserved.
Yes, you've earned a nasty word
Or two. With your impassioned promises
that turned to impetuous lies
and abrupt betrayal
But I won't, I won't retaliate
I will, however, bless not curse
I will, I will do the impossible
I WILL love and forgive the enemy
