Forgive and Forget

Breakup Poem

Emotions in the atmosphere.

It's difficult to breathe;

Begging for forgiveness.

While pleading on my knees.

You played my fragile heart.

Now I'm playing your heartless game;

What else can I admit.

If I already took the blame.

I know that I screwed up.

I made a big mistake;

But holding this against me.

Is making my heart break.

The mature thing to do.

Is Forgive and Forget;

But since you're not forgiving.

I guess I'll just forget.

This is my kind of heartbreak poem! I love it. I hate when a writer blames "the other person" for everything & prefer a message of owning one's own part in everything we choose to do in our lives. This is such a balanced & mature approach to the end of anything. Life delivers crap & we must gather our lessons & move on. You've put it into the most straightforward & relatable ways. I can't remember seeing you here before & I love your handle! Here's wishing you & your loved ones a beloved Christmas (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Lots of truth to this. I don't understand why people do this to others. Instead many seek to destroy others by spreading the failures and mistakes we sometimes make. Great piece!

hoo! hoo! What an ending! What a poem overall, in fact! Very well composed with a great narrative/message and a fluid musicality (I would, however, if you don't mind me saying, switch "adult" out for "grown-up" given the difference in stress points affects how the musicality flows through that line, and it flows better with "grown-up" than with "adult".....unless it's your pronunciation of the word that differs from mine). Simply well done!
