THERE'S NO EXCUSE

I shouldn't forgive you
But I'll let it go by
Deep down that I know
That you will try

It's happened before
But you apologized
Told me you're sorry
When I first cried

I started to trust you
Forgive and forget
And you were so gentle
No longer a threat

But I made you angry
I did something wrong
I wish that I knew what
I tried for so long

The pain I can handle
Although it does hurt
I'll pick up the pieces
You threw in the dirt

But the silence is hardest
While I lay by your feet
I wish you'd just tell me
So I don't repeat

I'll promise again
And say that I slipped
I know I am clumsy
That's why I tripped

But please will you tell me
That this is the last
Where we can all move on
And bury the past

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And yes she forgave him
When he pleaded on knees
But deep down she knows it
Will come back in threes

Though next time the silence
Will be just like before
But only now when buried
There won't be a four
