[poetry] a little piece from the heart

forgiveness

after all is said and done
it's not that quick
to dust off
this thought from mind
to pretend like
nothing has ever happened

the promise
the vow
the oath
I realise now
they were all just pretty lies
pretty lies that perfect enough
to comfort me back then

but,
now that you've returned
all I can do is forgive
even if I appeared to be weak

but
those who forgive are never weak
and at least
you've sought my forgiveness

but,
those who have numerous buts in life
are always pathetic
since they don't seem to be capable
of making a clear decision
and keep forgiving those
who don't deserve a second chance
