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.....

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...

So many times I've written love-hate verses that I thought were dismissed. I'm undiagnosed bipolar. My emotions swing wildly from one extreme to the other.
I cannot believe this is all just chance.
I understand you feel you want to go.
Please don't leave for forever.

[Dave W.]

I'm not leaving any where

[GlendaK]

Look at that face...

Sometimes even forgiveness cannot save a friendship, but at least the terms are not left without some closure.

A poem with deeper than surface meaning. Forgiveness sets the forgiver free, no longer to carry the burden of anger, blame, resentment. And in this poem it is so well expressed in the first lines. "There is nothing to forgive you own no debt to me" The very feeling that must accompany forgiveness, It is as if it had never happened. Memory may well be there as seems apparent at the end of the poem but not the feeling. It is as if you had stubbed your toe, next time you remember to lift your foot but hold no grudge toward the stair. A most splendid poem

[Dave W.]

You have captured the essence of what I was going for.

Most sorry for your pain and anything my words may have caused
