To Forgive Is to Suffer

Throughout our time a thought

Escapes us to enforce a word, no

Holding on to pain it may seem to some

The easy way to say o.k., twist your

Knife a little deeper

Words to sharp actions dark

Hide the blade of the deceiver.

Enforce the words no more, be free

Alone you might just find serenity.

To accept another day we choose

To give away another piece of life

To forgive is to suffer

Once or twice is kind

Three or four is blind

It is not the end yet a way to begin

The power of words both good and bad.
