I forgive you for the terrible things you did.
but I won't forget the hurt feelings you inflicted.
All the broken promises you never kept.
All the times you purposely made me cry.
I forgive your quick temper
but I can't forget when
you talked behind my back and lied.
Lied to all our friends about me.
You turned everyone against me
for your own personal gain.
Everyone felt sorry for you
while they gave me the cold shoulder.
Even after all that,
I gave you another chance.
I gave you so many chances
and you blew them all!
I called you a friend
but friends don't treat
each other like this.
What a selfish person you are.
A person is only a friend
by how much you can use
them and get out of them.
Freeloader, that's what you are.
I thought long and hard
and I finally forgiven you.
You call yourself a Christian,
in the end, we are all judged.

I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. You put in a great amount of emotion, and I especially like the lines:
"Even after all that,
I gave you another chance.
I gave you so many chances
and you blew them all!"
They really illustrate how many times we have to forgive others.
Great job! ^.^

im not usually into reading heart broken poems but i really enjoyed this one alot. you put alot of pain into it and made it your own . very nice work

ahhhhhhhh what heartfelt words of sadness, but true forgiveness from your caring heart. I am sure it pains you, but you feel good inside to forgive another that
is too rude, uncaring to care. this had take courage to write your feelings, after being treated that way. time will make it easier to deal with, as you move on. I am sorry for your pain as I feel your anguish. all the best, my friend.
