Forgiveness

Forgiveness is hard. Although I have recovered From multiple wounds. I try not to think. Of your cruelty to me. I wish you could see. The power in me. Now you no longer control each and every move. Forgiveness is hard. Because you do not deserve that I set you free.

I know...I know...Connie. It's just that he never asked for it yet, and the hurt runs so deep.

I wish you could say it was a powerful piece of forgiveness on my part Sandra. Perhaps in another time, another place, another poem. Thank you for your support. I appreciate it.

Luloo, I gasped on seeing my placement. I deem myself a novice in the senryu department. I did dig deep for this one I admit. Thank you so much.

Like my mother, you're an Irish female. Tough cookie, soft centre. Big kiss from me. Viv X

Jan, for some reason, I am in floods of tears these last few poems. Like you, my muse takes me and I must follow. I hope this means there is some healing going on. By the way, I will NEVER forgive that B*****D.
