“Forgiveness.

Can you imagine?”

I stared at the message she sent me.

“I’m sorry.”

I wasn’t the one she needed to apologize to.

What about everyone else’s lives she had ruined?

I was the youngest out of them all.

Did she assume no one else wanted to even speak to her?

Why was it me she chose?

I had no choice but to accept.

What else could I do?

She hadn’t hurt me the worst.

I accepted it with a ...

It feels like you don’t care

But you know what I’ve been through.

So why this?

Why act like you care?

Say you’ll look out for me?

Protect me but

Hurt me still

I mean, I’ve forgiven you

They say you’re mean

They tell me what’s the point in loving someone who doesn’t return such feelings

They ask me every possible question there is

I… don’t know.

I fall for too many

I’ve loved and hurt

Heartbreak...

Forgiveness

One of the hardest things to do

Especially when you know

The other was in the wrong

I don’t know if I will ever

Be able to forgive you for

What happened in the past

Don’t worry, I’ve tried

But maybe looking at the positives

The good outcomes from you

Maybe that would help…

Let’s see

Without you

I never would’ve gone to devils

Without you

I never would’ve reconnected with...

I don’t know that I will ever recover

But i can forgive you

Because after all we were just kids

You didn’t know how sharp your knife was

Or the utter thinness of my skin

You shouldn’t have had to know

And neither should I

But the world in which we live

Sets us up as enemies

For two people one in the same

Can not coexist

Without violence

I didn’t know your knife was for steak and not butter

I th...

It’s hard to forgive

But best to forget

When faced with a challenge

That will leave you broken

Forgiveness builds you up

And gives you room to grow

While grudges tear you down

And your happiness will slow

Guilt and grudges build a palace of their own

Leaving you a hollow shell

With no soul

Just skin and bone

Forgiveness is hard

But what’s hard towards the start

Is better than

Withstanding anger...

Your name used to spike my tongue,

But it seems the points have dulled now,

Your words hit like an earthquake,

My recollection is the final aftershock,

The puddles of tears began to dry,

And that was when I realized it all,

I _suppose_ you are correct,

I _suppose_ I am in the wrong,

Regardless, I wish to bond once again,

Despite our thoughts, let’s make amends,

Let’s push our combative belief...

I’m so sorry

That my mind is on fire

Burning endlessly

Like the hills of California

I’m so sorry

That I can’t love you the way you want

Unconditionally

Fully committed to your lack of love

I’m sorry that we both deserve better

I don’t want you

Which is horrible because you make me happy

But you never text first

Never reply quickly

Never make the effort

Never ask about my day

I deserve better...

I pick up my phone. Waiting for any sign of my old friend. “Is this even right?” I say to myself. I was the asshole I know that is true. But the dreams and the… just everything.

I try to talk to her through the app. Commenting and liking. Just to know that I still stalk her. Then I tell her “do u wanna talk?” And she comments back “yes” this is the first time in a while something has happened so...

A child, small and delicate, ready to conquer the world.

Innocent, soft and righteous.

Family surrounded her, but the beast was there dressed as her hero.

The beast stole her innocence, he exploited and mistreated her.

Mishandling and ill treatment.

The villain soon appeared, she came to her realisation that her hero she looked up had ceased to be visible, he had vanished.

She grew angry and...

I forgive you

Even though you made me ache

Even though you made me blue

Even though you made me feel like a mistake

Even though I felt awful

Even though I was worthless

Even though I was empty, not full

Even though I felt like being lost in the abyss

Even though I cried, would always angrily shout

Even though I threw things all over the place

Even though I always would pout

Even though I felt l...
