Words spat towards you, immaturely
shows that I am human too, like you
Both of us hurting for reasons
That will surely fade in the distance
My cold heart, I will work on
Bettering who I am and who I will be
Mistakes are always made, I fall
Forgiveness must start with me
I hold no ill will, forgive me
With light and love, we will live, regret free.

Forgiveness... why is it so hard when it's really so easy. Much easier than not doing so. And certainly better in all respects.
And forgiving ourselves is the hardest of all. You've written a strong, beautiful message here... no regrets

I don't regret what I said simply wish I had not said it in such a venomous way. I told the person they were "a dead man walking". They just suffered the loss of close relatives and so did I. I think I should have been a bit more sensitive. Maybe the mountain of things that have happened in my life in the past two months weighed heavily on the way I reacted. I am not trying to look for excuses. What I said, far more than mentioned, was cruel. I am not a cruel person, nor do I set out to hurt others. I know that about myself and there in lies the remorse.
Thank you for this poem beautiful woman, these sentiments. I know that forgiveness has to play a big role in all of this, on both sides. I am willing. I truly hope they are too.
Thank you for this heartfelt entry. I know it is sincere. I wish you the best in the challenge.
Much Love Always ♥

that's the key, too.
no regrets.
responsibility without regret is such a challenge, but if you can do it ... well, masochism dies, lol.
