Forgiveness

Forgiveness isn't forgetting, Its letting go, Its opening your doors, The ones you closed in your heart, When someone you trusted, Ripped it apart, Its letting go of your guilt, And all the blame you harbor, For not seeing through, Someone's nefarious plans for you, Open those doors, They don't unleash vulnerability, they give life to possibilities, The ones the betrayer stole from you, For love, happiness, and company, Forgiveness is not saying you'll stay, Its having the strength to walk away, And tell yourself doing so is okay, And stop wasting away with your pain button on replay, Forgiveness is the key, So you can move on, And be happy.
