Grudges

I know holding a grudge isn't healthy
they say you should just forgive 
but I sometimes I can't
not matter how hard I try
when someone hurts me badly
I don't see any turning back
I can't sit here and look in your eyes
and not harbor a hidden hatred 
for making me feel so sad 
you guys were supposed to 
be my friends 

wounds like these don't heal over nite
sometimes I really miss you guys
cause we did everything together 
But I could never look 
at any of you guys the same
so when my cellphone rings 
I just stare and let it go to voicemail
Now I know I shouldn't hold a grudge
cause people who do end up alone
but how do you forgive someone
who did something so wrong 
than look them in the face
and just try to move on 
         I can't.....
