Lost in thought

I’ve started this eleven...
Twelve
Times now.
And still I hesitate.
Stumbling through patterns of speech
And cliché ways to say
That I forgive.

But why would I exonerate
Your leaving me alone?


When I close my eyes...
Sometimes I see beyond your lies
And I can almost think
Beyond this spite.
And sometimes,
On the better days...
The missing almost goes away,
And I almost forget
That I’m alone.

I’m trying to forgive you now.
I know I will,
In time,
Somehow.
But how do I forgive
What isn’t here?

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

Alyssa,
   The last line was really thought provoking.  If it can be done, you can do it.
I enjoyed your heartfelt write.
