"Forgive her" Forgive her? How could I forgive someone who has caused me so much pain, depression and anger? "Easy, just say 'I forgive you'." Easy for you to say! Okay, I'll try. I forgive you for all you've done. Even though you may not have been aware of it. I forgive you for all you haven't done. Even though you should have. I ask you to forgive me for all I've done. Even though I shouldn't have. I ask you to forgive me for all I didn't do. Maybe I should have. By asking your forgiveness. I release your memory from my heart. By receiving your forgiveness, I can make a new start. So? So what? So how did it go? It went all right I guess. You guess? Well, it takes a lot to forgive someone who you loved, then hated, and now. . . Now. . . ? Well, I forgave her. . . To err is human. . . . . . to forgive devine, I know. I forgave. . . . . . but can I forget? That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

The power to forgive is indeed a gift. It is the strong who forgive the weak who cannot. Loved this, the different style  What the inner voice says will NOT disappoint the hoping soul. ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

Although possible to forgive...it is impossible to forgert. I guess at least by forgiving you walk away knowing you did all you could and are a better person. |

Great one here No one ever forgets....but forgiveness is a must...or the heart runs dry. Liked this very much. Jenny Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |

One should never "forget" Sven, lest they fall into the same pit that caught them before, but alas, forgiving, indeed, is divine. great work. Michael |

usually when i read a poem that appears to be more of a dialouge than anything else, i don't care for it, but your format has captured this so well, it really works for you. it's a good poem |

Thank you all. . Roxane, I've tried to work with the dialogue in this way, I've found that it makes the poem easier to read and is less sressful on the reader. . . --------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
