They say to “forgive and forget”
But forgetting is impossible
When someone has wounded your heart
The cuts don’t disappear, they sting
More faintly, over time
But to forgive? That’s within the realm
Of meek human possibility
Not saying that it’s easy to do
Forgiveness crumples the ego
When we’ve been wronged
We want to lash out and destroy
An eye for an eye
Hurt word for hurt word
It takes an almost saintly resilience
To say, I forgive you
I love you, and wish you
All the blessings in life
For that is true forgiveness
