Lack of closure


Some people think they can do wrong,
offer no apology, then just share time
Does pretending it never happened erase it?
For the other, it remains a weight, it hurts
Issues, always reaching in empty air for closure
How does one forgive with no acknowledgement?
It's really not difficult to tell the truth
But, it's hard for the person who will never forget

it is so true. I have had problems with that, and even God wants us to confess our sins and He will cleanse us from unrighteousness, so, if the God of love requires this, we can obviously see why it is hard to handle, us being mortal beings. Hugs to you Heidi, I hope the situation can have some closure for you.
