Forged

That summer, I met someone. Past

left behind and yet forgiven.

Slipping into my mind forcing smiles. Past

and still never forgotten


That summer, I wrote something. Past

words within the mind forgotten.

Rhythm and rhyme of a different life. Past

a memory never to be forgiven.


That summer, I left something. Past

meant to be forgotten. Past

cry to be forgiven. Past

remind me of the shredded. Past


Beyond the shame of my forgiveness and past not to be forgotten. That summer, I learned to let go of the past.
