Forgiveness

I don’t need to forgive Or feel your forgiveness in return; I don’t need to love you or feel The embers of your fire to get burned. Forgiveness, I’ve found Is highly overrated Ever since you knocked me down My mind’s been saturated With all the ugliness and hate your Pathetic life engendered; Forgiveness to or from you Will never be surrendered. So forgive me for not forgiving The history of our past: I could deeply care Less about who or what you are Than trench bugs in the grass. Still, I’ll let you pass Like the untouchable, intangible wind, More miniscule than dirt and sand I’ll tread on once again, my dear old once begotten Now long forgotten, friend. Hello-goodbye, excuse me But just who did you say you are? Don’t make me blink my eyes again And wish upon a star… Because you’re as gone as any comet, Gravitationally black hole bound; So forgive me for not forgiving you Without a whisper of a memory or a sound. But forgiveness is a word you don’t deserve When all you do is drag me down.
