Favorite Quote:
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one. ~Henry Ward Beecher

It's always there
Like the scars
On my stomach
And the scratches
You wrote on my arms

You left an impression
That keeps me spinning
In and out of love
And even though

You broke me
You used me
Assaulted and really
You abused me

I Can't help but
love you anyway
