It’s alright.
It’s alright, love, to breathe in and breathe out. Forgive.
That word is so heavy on me though
That word is reserved for the both the worst and the most mundane of crimes
That word is a loaded gun
Nobody knows for sure what it means
“Forgive and forget” they say
“Forgive, but do not forget” they say
Which one is more forgiveness than the other?
Or are they the same?
How do we know when people deserve it?
Or does everything get so hard that we choose it
Only for ourselves?
Just to breathe easier again?
