FORGIVING

Forgiveness – well, just let it lay inside
Not to see any daylight, maybe never
No moment of weakness or surrender
If a request received, return to sender
It’s not about strength or being clever
And no way back once regret has died

Some might suggest an alternative way
Being the first to say I forgive, out loud
But for me, however, that is premature
With no reciprocation, there is no cure
It is not about being remote or proud
Just think twice and get through the day

Who does one have to be, to forgive
It smacks a little of haughtiness to me
As if such an offer commands respect
But it may just be automatic, I suspect
It’s not someone who I’d want to be
And such words fall through any sieve

If one gets an apology, maybe it’s Okay
Perhaps then forgiveness can be allowed
I’m not too sure who collects any points
Nothing is ever solved by smoking joints
It should never be just to please a crowd
And such an empty gesture doesn’t pay

Some equate forgiving with being gracious
Others may almost consider it their due
When accepted, is it really over and done
Or a dark cloudy sky when expecting sun
And it’s only worth it all, if it’s really true
To say the words when false, is audacious
