In the shadows of guilt, I silently dwell,

With feelings of rejection, a painful spell.

I’ve sought forgiveness, yet it doesn’t sell,

Leaving me in this turbulent emotional well.

I wonder if the day will ever come,

When healing pierces through this numb.

A two-way street, forgiveness should become,

Yet doors remain closed, and I feel so glum.

I’ve asked for redemption, with all my might,

But the echoes of silence persist through the night.

In this labyrinth of wrongs, I search for the light,

To release myself from this endless, inner fight.

Yet I must remember, forgiveness is not just mine,

It’s a choice in the heart of the other’s design.

And though I’ve sought it, I can’t define,

Their journey, their path, their own incline.

Through this trial, I’ve learned, it’s hard to deny,

The weight of mistakes, as they make me cry.

But I’ll practice self-forgiveness, and I’ll try,

To shed self-blame and shame, like a butterfly.

I am not less of a person, my spirit’s still strong,

In imperfections, I find where I belong.

Through trials and challenges, I’ll emerge, lifelong,

With lessons and growth, in my heart’s sweet song.

If this relationship brings continual pain,

It might be time to let go and myself, regain.

Though it’s tough, it’s not for my soul’s disdain,

I deserve love and respect, for my heart to sustain.

So as I stand at the crossroads of despair,

I’ll choose self-love, and breathe in fresh air.

Letting go of the past, releasing the snare,

For happiness, respect, and love I’ll declare.
