Forgiven
30 April, 2006
Author: Ben Franklin
Out of the dark you came,
like wild beasts stalking their prey,
I told you to stop hitting me
but you didnt want to listen to what I had to
say.
Kicks to the ribs
and kicks to the head,
you did not give a shit
just casually walked off
leaving me for dead.
That night you didn't just steal my money,
that night you stole my pride,
I went round my girlfriend's house the next day
and my emotions I could not hide,
I had to let it all out
I just broke down and cried.
I split with my girlfriend
and I kinda blame you,
it's just so sad that you don't know what your
actions put people through.
but your forgiven guys,
God bless you.
------- Author's Notes -------
I just wanted to add that this happened to me a few weeks back, I didn't want to leave the house. Sounds strange but I didn't feel like a man anymore, I felt robbed of my dignity. I forgive them though as life is to short to carry on through it being bitter. Thanks for reading. |

| Meridian (70.104.187.252) -- Thursday, June 1 2006, 08:54 pm I remember this....and I tell you, I admire your wisdom, strength, and courage that is clearly defined here, enabling you to forgive, move on, and forget regarding the circumstances that took place. I'll be the first to say, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly. I probably would've held a grudge for approximately a few months...:) And then, slowly would I let the emotions and the vehemence go, and disregard constructing a plan as to how I would get vengeance. Anyway, what would I do besides get beat up! It's good that you're venting it through your nostrils and thinking of it as a long forgotten affair. Bravo B man! |
