Love Me Under One Condition

Forgiveness

Robin Jessie-Green
You can't claim to love me unconditionally

And have a zero tolerance policy

Can't you see the disparity in that?

There's a huge discrepancy as a matter of fact

You adhere to a double standard

You can do what you do

But I'm not allowed to do it too

When you make a mistake

It doesn't matter

When I err, our relationship is at stake

I don't know how much more walking on eggshells I can take

Forgive me--

As I would you

Boundlessly and unconditionally

As I will continue to

Actually, love me as you say you do

No, I am not perfect

But neither are you

    Unconditionally and zero tolerance policy really works. THis is good.
