In time
Maybe the anger will leave you
In times maybe the blade will drop
Maybe in time the cuts you gave
And received will fade away
Only to scars that remain
Etched thinly upon a layer of skin
And just as light dawns again
Over a darker horizon
As channels of flow are carved by running water
Upon layers of rock
Maybe then the river flow
Of your grieving will carry you home
And you will know the sweet taste
Of true ecstasy
Finally free
Of the haunting pain that dogged you
For so so many years
Emerging From The Dark Night 
And the scars will remind you of a life you chose to forget, of the people you chose to forgive. I need this peace, more than anyone.

It really did, darling. Thank you so much. I guess a lot of writers have written poems and pieces about forgiveness and I am the only one who couldn’t for the life of me. Haha.

We sometimes, choose to forget the pains, we can’t deal with, and our minds, they help us survive, by making us, forget…
