‘It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget.’

To forget means to delete from your mind everything that had happen with or about that person. To never remember them again. And everyone,at some point,wished just this. But it also means to forget about everything that you had learned during that period and to forget the lesson that this experience had taught you.

To forgive,on the othe...

In days gone by, forgiveness came so easy,

The wounds would heal, the pain would fade, oh so breezy.

But now, my dear, the memories remain clear,

The broken promises, the trust destroyed, I fear.

Lies have tainted the canvas of our bond,

Leaving scars where once love had fondly shone.

I'm tired of watching my friend choose others,

While disregarding my struggles, my hidden bothers.

Oh, how I lon...

It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget

But now l would rather forget it ever happened at all

I'm fed up of the flash backs and panic attacks

I never wanted you near me

You changed my life

But not for the better

So no I don't forgive you

When l have forgotten you exist at all...

I remember a time

When the wind blew through my hair

And the sun smiled down on me

I know that I can never go back

To laughter

Ice cream

Swings

Never go back

To that curly haired girl

With the cheeky smile

But I remember her

I remember her laugh

And babble

I remember her

I know that I can never take back

Slammed doors

Suppressed sobs

Cuts on my wrist

Never take back

The hurt I’ve seen

But I re...

Time eases all hurt,

joy, victory, and defeat;

so we can move on...

So, pray for me lover,

and I promise I will haunt you.

For I am eloquently

full of anguished truth.

And though honesty

is not the color of your eyes.

I will still drown in them,

carrying your heavy sighs.

For I am a blasphemous

girl and full of rage.

Splitting my tongue

in a religious twain.

For the sins and sorrows

of a love turned to disdain...

But I will not drink

the blood of a man. ...

It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget

Because forgiveness is supposed to provide peace

But you’re a hinderance to me

And all the good you think your doing

Only lights a brighter fire inside my chest

Cause I can’t forgive or forget

You took everything that I had left

And the anger consumes me

My blood is boiling

I thought you were this good thing

But you were my undoing...

I hung on to every word that you’ve said to me

From the moment you said them

I knew you were mine

You said you were mine

I thought you were mine

Do you know what Anouk said

When you left our group for the first time

She said

“Be careful with this one guys

She will do what it takes to survive”

You and your words flooded our senses

Your sentences left us defenseless

You built us palaces out of opini...

It used to be much easier

to forgive than to forget

The horrifying memories

turned brighter in my head

Then age tapped me on the shoulder

Said “there’re pains you must review”

And now I find the whole of me

Considering anew...

Stop where you are

Look upon a star

See the bigger picture

It doesn’t take a preacher

To appreciate peace

Which only comes with ease

When we choose to let go

Show anger the door

Forgive and forget

Release the debt

Of emotional baggage

To heal the damage

That’s self inflicted

Righteously convicted

Failing to move on

Is the real con

X marks the spot

Your heart is in a knot

Suffering...
