FORGIVE AND FORGET
Time goes by so fast,
And it takes two to let go of the past.
Their lives are not over yet,
If they are ready to forgive and forget.
He’s still got his kids
Though his life is on the skids.
It is not a good time to dump him.
She considers his needs
And why he closes the door.
But she needs to talk, to feel his hurt,
She can’t stand silence anymore.
The children expect presents and fun,
While his life is coming undone.
But it’s not a good time to dump him.
She wonders why their relationship
Is completely off the track
Maybe it is over and done
And they might never get it back!
Birthdays, anniversaries,
All are markers of time.
Is this the time to dump him?
Holidays are coming
And the world is full of joy and peace.
Will wonders never cease?
Is this the time to dump him?
At first she tries to fight
But his barbed words rip her deep.
She thought she could win the war,
But the price for winning is steep.
She stumbles as she walks,
Her voice breaks as she talks.
Her eyes are soft and clear
But her face shows wear and tear.
Her feelings are dripping with hate
Her emotions are burning within,
If he won’t listen
She will find a way to punish him.
Things said are venomous and terse,
As they attack again and again.
But the battle only gets worse.
There is no way either can win.
Is this the time to dump him?
