thank you for coming to me
for letting me defend what little character i have
though i've always treated you with kindness
and never wished you any bad
i understand how whispers can
change your mind and decisions
i don't hate you for siding with her
you did what you saw fitting
your pain is mine as i watch
you collapse under the weight of the lies
the things you did hurt me much
but i'll never stand by as you die
everyone deserves a chance
to be better than  
who they were
i dont care what you did
or about any of the things that i've heard
glad we can see each other eye to eye
talk face to face
without oozing with anger
or unloading blame
i forgive you
and appreciate this development
this feeling of freedom is so nice
even if its fresh and delicate
