forgive : i feel it is a tough word in general and a tough word for a haiku too.
so here’s my try :
” thou hast my lady,
hurt her not, forgive she may,
as lost love, i won’t “
~ ~ ~
i donno if people can get what i tried to tell, i would just say that this haiku’s fictional context is
” my love is with an other man, her only man (she never was mine, in fact), but i still love her, for eternity.
and i warn ( not in grudge, but in a concerned urge, for my lady) him, as she chose him, above me,
i warn him not to disappoint her or hurt her because i wouldn’t if i was him.
O’ love,
lost love.”

I enjoyed this haiku of yours very much. He has indeed given the new lover fair warning. Well done.
not new lover. the only lover of her’s. she never was mine. ‘coz it may seem that i am blaming my lady. no, never. i should have added that.
Thank you, Ellecee
