only God forgives

we always speak of forgiveness does it really exist? we say we forgive each other then we make a fist i could say i'm sorry one hundred million times but the stain still remains inside of our minds maybe up in heaven is the only place it lives we can try with all our might but only God forgives

Notes

we say that we forgive, but we don't...we harbor those feelings inside forever...we have all been there, we are told we are forgiven, yet the next little thing triggers those feelings again, and we sometimes even bring it back out...that's not true forgiveness
