Former Friend

I believe in the act of forgiveness
It is an act of fearlessness
Giving up a debt that someone has
Even if one owes a debt that's vast
You asked me to return to a friendship
And to forget the reasons
Why you're now friendless
You've chosen
Over the years
To continue to abuse me
And then you come back
Falsely acting friendly
Your need does not mean
I must respond
Your actions and words
Both, destroyed the bond
We've nothing left, I am alone
Please go away, find a new home
I can't be what you now want
It is a choice that haunts
I will truly forgive you
But that is all I can
And, please note
All I will do
