WITHered Løve

I recognize the face,
But not the beauty.

I recollect the touch,
But not the feeling.

I recognize our morning,
But not the joy.

I recollect the kiss
But not the taste.

I recognize the emotions,
But not the love.

I recollect our closeness,
But not the fun.

I recognize you,
But not us.

FORGIVENESS

Carrying you around
Heavily bounded to my shoulders
Like a rock tied to a fowl
Void of any tangible importance

I vowed not to let you go
Even though you weighed me down
‘Coz of your imperfection
That pierced through my heart

I began to grow weaker and weaker
Due to the heavy load I refused to part with
That had caused so many damages
To the whole of my body system

I resolved to let go at the end
Even though you never felt the pain
Like a freeman
You have invariably lived all your days

Now I understand the power of unforgivingness
It only hurts the offended
Now I feel like a freeman too
‘Coz I finally chose to forgive
