Forgiveness Of Denial

You may hate me for the rest of your life,
but I refuse to hate you for the rest of mine.

I told the truth about the man you say you love-
a truth you always tried to hide,
and the world around me overheard.

Telling this truth has set me free,
I named and shamed what he did to me.

But I stopped hating you long ago,
for I told you exactly what you needed to know.

And I hope one day you will open your eyes
and see through the truth which he still denies.
