FORGIVENESS

By Aman



Your blonde strands stung my eyes

And I still taste the bitter words that slipped out your pale lips

You constantly appraised yourself on cheap quips used on guys that were dicks

I hate that we ended this friendship group like typical bitchy chicks

But forgiveness is the reason I’m writing this

All these facts are filtered through emotion

Don’t take it seriously, I don’t care enough anymore for a commotion

Keep avoiding eye contact when you see me on the streets

Wouldn’t want the small island of ice in the whites of your eye to crack

Looking down so much could really hurt your back

I’m also tired of thing one and thing two

Luckily they both bolted out of my life faster than a greyhound,

I can still see their footsteps imprinted in vodka stained floors, it took me so long to realise

the path led to the door

The betrayal felt deceiving but I remembered

it’s only me your leaving

Either old boy, younger boy, you found a new shiny toy

Remember that cute brunette you befriended, no surprise he got too friendly

My body still aches from that wall I was slammed into

I had no choice but to keep walking, no one pics up when I try calling

My parents pick up on one ring,

My problems feel too embarrassing

I can’t get rid of constantly feeling lonely, couldn’t you wait until I got home safely

And God forbid you told me in advance your bored,

I could never entertain you with my flaws

Can we all forgive and live permanently in our witness protection programs

Knowing anything can distract from our progress
