wishing you had the power

 

 

Our sharp tongued words                                                        pierced deep my heart

 

and the words that never should have escaped

                 hang heavy in the air... I grab at them wishing I could choke them back

 

the pain I feel stems from the pain in your eyes...

                     and blooms in my throat leaving me to gasp a prayer for forgiveness

 

I fall to my knees           taking all the blame          wishing you had the power of  absolution          for words said in the heat of the night

 

Before you can even consider forgiveness                      I must find a way to

                                pardon myself         for speaking without a filter

 

                                                                                      and inflicting my pain on you

    Exactly! You know what poet...you have made me realize that I am not the first to spew hurt from being hurt. This is how it happened and it seems that you relate with no question from your words here. I know the words are already said and cannot return. I also know that at the time they were expressed, they were honest feelings, and emotions that needed to be aired. There is no regret, just simple remorse. Time will tell whether forgiveness is used as a weapon or a key. Time will tell.

    Thanks for saying it as it was. Thanks for caring enough to submit this entry into my contest. I wish you the best!


    Much Love ♥
