Forgiving does not erase to replace, <br />Or eliminate a pain to feel that is felt. <br />And words to use to abuse someone, <br />Has a way to linger... <br />When reminiscing them is done. <br />Forget the forgetting. <br />It just does not happen. <br />Especially when acts like this, <br />Are meant to personally attack. <br />With a doing unexpected for that to come back. <br /> <br />The affect of what one says, <br />Is there to stay to replay in one's head 'forever'. <br />And better it is for this to be expressed, <br />By the one to have it acknowledged... <br />To another to have this addressed. <br />Instead of pretending to others solicited, <br />Unaware of those comments made... <br />To have them also believe, <br />Something done in innocence... <br />Should not have left one victimized oversensitive. <br /> <br />'You 'had' to have done 'something', <br />For them to react as if you don't exist.' <br /> <br />~I said or did nothing I have not done to do or say, <br />That had not been any different for many years.~ <br /> <br />'Oh. <br />So they aren't sensitive. <br />They just got tired of your same repeated nonsense. <br />I understand. <br />They took the initiative to make the difference. <br />And ridding oneself from that kind of addiction, <br />Takes courage.' <br /> <br />~Excuse me? <br />What do you mean by that? <br />Who's side are you on? ~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
