Poetry: Futility

by Jeanne

To forgive but not forget
is a double edged sword
your can't excuse their actions
then never let them live it down
we think it makes us stronger
we won't be hurt again
but in fact we only hurt ourselves
and drive ourselves insane
if you can't move on from actions taken
be the one to take the blame
for we ourselves will make mistakes
there's no rules in this game
fear not the one inflicted with pain
but the bearer of the burden
is the one who can't forgive himself
for causing all your hurting

    Will
