Forgiven not forgotten

No.
Please don't.
Don't bring it up.

I only wanted
to see you.
I don't want to
talk about the elephant
in the room.

You fucked up...
once,
twice,
but three times,
for me, it's too much.

I caught your lies,
you stomped my heart.

Playing the victim,
the victim of what?
How long did you think
it was going to last?

Feelings can blind,
'cause you fooled me
when you had my heart
in your hands.

Now, I'm done.
Your excuses won't work,
I heard 'em all before.

You're asking me
to stay,
but, honey,
there's nothing for me
to reciprocate.

Even though
I'm not okay,
I didn't come to stay.

You say you miss me,
but I can't tell.
All I have left
for you is just a farewell.

Wow. This is well written. I love conversation poems (the theater major in me) and this one I could feel. I enjoyed it from the start.
