David Brown Poet Verse

Unforgiveable

I say, 
let me forgive you

Unlock me, unchain me 

Set me free at last, 
from you,
from this prison of resentment

Set me free

I want to forgive you, 
I need to forgive you

I must forgive you,
so that I can move on, 
be free, be alive
 
But, 
you won't let me forgive you
for if I do, 
I might forget you

You say, 
that would be unforgiveable

Eileen Manassian August 10, 2014 at 12:43 AM This is so deep, Dave. Yes...to be forgiven means to be forgotten. Reminds me of a poem I've written entitled, Hate Me. Wow. Loved this piece. Very well worded. Eileen Manassian August 10, 2014 at 1:00 AM Awwwww....thanks, David. You are kind. Glad you liked it. :) David Brown August 10, 2014 at 12:58 AM I see what you mean...your's is almost the opposite side of the 'conversation'. Beautiful work as always, Eileen. David Brown August 10, 2014 at 12:53 AM Thank you as always Eileen for your wonderful feedback. I must go and read your poem now, you have piqued my interest! ...David
