Blatant Caprice

Once upon a time so real
You told me what you hated to feel.
Something that claimed your heart to steal
The love that could have been there.
Now I know a taste of your pain,
You're reason for the lack of gain,
You're refusal to consider being sane.
It is hard to forgive without a reason.
Thanks to you I know this now.
Such irony has now endowed
Me with an insight not to vow
That I would never do the same as you.
As you once said it's very hard
To without reason, put down guard,
Open heart and move forward.
To forgive without a reason.
I told you that you were a fool.
I said that there must be some rule
That condemned your soul's resilient duel
But now I know I spoke to soon.
After you've ripped me up and spit me out
I'm sure now without a doubt
That it's a struggle all throughout
To forgive without a reason.
This is why I tell you this,
A point I should not ever miss.
Though it may seem ludicrous
It's only right to forgive you now.
I cannot with my own heart
But by the power of the One who gave me start.
By His grace I forgive in part
Also in hope that you may do the same.
BE FREE, BROKEN SON. SUFFER NO MORE.
MY RESENTMENT NO LONGER SITS AT YOUR DOOR.
MAY YOURS NOT OWN YOU LIKE IT DID BEFORE.
May you find God's grace and forgive as He does.
