Forgive and Forget

Just a little ditty that popped into my head.

I admit I was wrong,

You don't have to shout.

I'm sure if we try;

We can work it all out.

There's nothing so wrong,

But what can't be made right.

Yet, we'll get nowhere fast,

As long as we fight.

So calm yourself down,

Stop throwing that fit,

Why can't you just learn;

To forgive and forget.

 

Forgive and Forget

We're not over yet.

But how much more

do you think I can take.

I'm willing to stay,

So don't make me pay,

Please won't you give

My heart a break.

 

So come to your senses,

And listen to me.

I said I was sorry;

So please let it be.

Don't dig up old bones,

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Come sit here beside me

Please don't make me cry.

And tell me why, honey,

You haven't learned yet.

That when you forgive;

You're supposed to forget.

Forgiving is easy, but forgetting is sometimes impossible and I say that because when bad things happen, it always takes us back to those things we have tried to forgive one for and then we remember the harm it did, so we don't forget, sometimes a lobotomy is needed in order to keep our sanity. Nice write Norma, good flow with the words.

Nice Work, Norma, Keep it up!

There is a bit more resolve in this piece then your others. I like it.

Great poem!
Keep writing!

[Phill Oz O'fee]

How many times do we say or do something towards another that we later come to regret. If we apologise, it is hoped that the recipient of our remorse can be magnanimous towards us.

I think you summed it up very poetically; short, but eloquently sweet!

Smooth and good foundation piece to get things going. It's a starter poem that can be elaborated on more to make it much more intriguing. Rather than have questions or rhetorics, be specific instead and point out some common settings or feelings in this piece.
