Shame on Me Too

You begged me to have a heart, offer mercy for your shame

To disregard the wrong you've done, not reprimand or blame

Continual dishonour to your mate should never come to be

Recurrent forgiveness is not love, it's pity actually

While passion within will waste away, I'll fill with heavy grace

Clemency in my cavity, love sits out of place

I need to be amnesic for my memory to reset

For there's a subtle finespun thread associating forgive with forget.
