Forgiven

Sadness...

There is nothing to forgive, 

you owe no debt to me. 

Forget that we talked, 

I will set you free. 

I have no ill will, 

I will move on you see. 

With wings I have flown, 

while you travel the sea. 

Good bye my friend, 

I will let you be. 

This is the last time, 

you will hear from me.

There really is nothing left I guess.....

Dave W. I know I said there is no time limit. I have never published anything before and that's why I sent Philip Gaber to you.
My guy of 10 years burned in a fire in Wolf City, Texas a year ago. I had gone into denial and was loading my plate without thinking.
When I was reading your poems, it hit me. I almost had a nervous breakdown. I'm still a huge fan but the steps PLUS the financial aspect is too much. I'm sorry if I upset you in any way. You still deserve to be in books. I just am not prepared to take on that monumental task. It was not clear. But it is now. I apologize.

I don't think friends ever wish to be set free or let be. That's what makes them "friends". I had a friend who came to my doorstep after ten years. He had been in Alaska installing commercial heating systems. We went out and had a few beers together, like we'd never missed a beat in our friendship. Being apart doesn't mean growing apart unless you want it to. That's how I see it anyway.

I really like your poem! It feels like you’re saying goodbye in a peaceful way, which is cool. The lines about flying and traveling give it a nice feeling of freedom. I also like how you repeat “you owe no debt to me” and “I will let you be” — it makes the message super clear. It’s a great way to show moving on and letting go! Great job!

Sometimes it's hard to more on but it is for the best to let go, thank you for the review

Forgiveness isn't to leave one entirely on his will; forgiveness is an open enclosure.

Thankyou for the review

The heart bears such weight of love or may be of resentment or.. Your poetry is talking about freedom from that weight and emotional baggage. Creating fresh space within! Liberating yourself from sadness, bygone memories. It should take time I would think. For they were once also a lifeline a happy dream sadly did’nt materialise. “ Let you be and last time you will hear “ sounds seriously contemplated and hard decisions taken for good. The part ‘have no ill will , with wings I have flown’ touched a deep cord. So immersive and matured thinking reflected in your poem , Dave!

Thank you so very much

If they can't forgive, they must forget. It is the only way to deal with something if the don't or won't deal with it, else it just becomes a heavier burden to carry.
Very well put.

Through forgiveness you have set yourself free, Dave. Now, you can let go of the past and walk away a free man. You have captured very finely your willingness to move on in this well inked write realising that there is nothing left within the relationship for you to hold on to or which will serve any purpose in your life in the future. Now you have closure! Look forward to the future with hope. Wishing you a very bright, happy, blessed and wonderful life ahead and pray you meet somebody so special who will stand beside you forever, Dave... Great write! Thank you for sharing...
