Forgive and forget,
That’s what I have been told
So I do-
I forget, time and time again,
But do I really ever forgive?
With each time that I forget,
A piece of my soul is torn off
Tear by tear I break my soul apart,
My heart
Slowly
Breaking.
I try to forget the past,
The future,
And the present.
And yet it never diminishes
The light never goes out,
It continues to cast its shadowing glow,
All around me, haunting me
With its taunting flicker-
Flickering with each moment
That my soul fights to remember
And my heart fights to forget.
