Forgiveness Poems about Love

Poems about Forgiving

Forgiveness in a relationship of love is essential. We all make mistakes and we must make amends and fix the relationship. There is a certain sadness in breaking the illusion of the perfect relationship. However, for those that pass the hurdle of forgiveness, they will find that their relationship is stronger and more meaningful than ever before. Before the first fight, the relationship is like a fragile egg. Once that illusion is broken the relationship becomes much stronger. You become aware that your relationship can survive a disagreement.

20 Poems about Forgiveness and Love

1 - 20 of 20

  1. 1. Forgiveness Is Divine

    This poem is about people who hold on to grudges and can't forgive and how destructive that is.


    Some people view forgiveness
    As a virtue for the weak.
    An act of mercy undeserved,
    That serves no useful need.

  5. 3. Forgiveness

    Can you push a woman to cheat? Is love a strong enough force to forgive? This is a husband's release of emotions after infidelity.

    How could it be that we let our love fall?
    There were times in our life that we had it all.

    but I could never be ready for this.

  7. 5. Two Hearts

    Two broken souls rekindling love and finding healing in each other. The imagery of two hearts colliding and beating together paints a beautiful picture of two people coming back together in a relationship.

    Two hearts broken, torn and bleeding
    Stumbling through the darkest days
    They collide and resume their beating
    Speeding up along the way

  10. 8. Words I've Never Said

    I'm having a hard time with a break up with this girl I really love. We were forced to break up because her mother doesn't like me or approve of me. She's never met me; she just judges me from my past. I've had issues with drugs, from my father leaving, and depression. I've had suicidal issues my whole life. This is the first poem I've ever submitted. Thoughts I've never been brave enough to say.

  11. 9. Healing A Broken Family Tree

    I originally wrote the poem called "A Broken Family Tree" 12 years ago. It was published on this site under my married name Lori A. Cain but is now under Lori McBride. The last verse in that poem said "I am one of many, but I alone will go." Since 2001, time has proven that I did not go alone because the Lord was with me. Meanwhile, a new tree has begun just as the original poem said. This poem is about how vital forgiveness is to future generations.

    When resentment and offense
    Invade the very crevices of your heart
    It burns fierce like sulfur
    As it forces love to depart.

  12. 10. A Lost Love

    When my first love and I broke up I didn't know how to handle it. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I didn't know how I was going to move on. It was during this very painful time that I discovered the only avenue through which I could move on was by expressing my sorrows via poetry. And although we never got back together, early mornings spent writing and rewriting and rewriting again are what pushed me forward to the point where I became comfortable with the fact that it was really over.

    There's a pain in my heart that I'm feeling today,
    for the love of my life feels further each day.

    The sorrow is so much and the pain is so deep.

  13. 11. Just Let It Go

    I'm 17 years old. Can't really say I've had any major tragedies in my life or that I have a big dramatic thing that happened that inspired me to start writing poetry. I love expressing my feelings in ways other people can relate to, but I like for people to think about my poems and try to extract the true meaning, or at least find a meaning that satisfies themselves. As a young black man, I am proud to say I love writing poems to benefit myself and others.

For everyone going through what I went through, just have a leap of faith, and I promise you will get through it.

  20. 18. Sorry

    This poem was written for a friend who was going through a rough period, and I'm glad to say it helped said friend cope. I have put it on here with that friend's permission. Hope it can help others too.

    Being sorry can be very hard when we're overwhelmed with pride,
    But sometimes our pride must take a fall before we lose out.
    And when we have to say sorry, we should mean it from our soul.
    A meaningless sorry is like a broken promise to the heart.

  22. 20. The Smile

    I often write about past or present relationships. This poem was written about somebody special to me for a number of years who had a moment of indiscretion partly due to being deceived. Struggling with a solution, I thought back to what was the best thing I admired about her. The smile, her smile, flooded my mind over and over, and I knew at that moment that I wanted to see that smile again, so because of that smile, I forgave her and we had many more wonderful times together.
