I Can Forget It

Rating: 5.0


The other person has hurt me,
She has utterly disappointed me,
She is totally wrong—very clear.
I cannot forget it.

She doesn't seek forgiveness,
Even if it is sought—the forgiveness,
She doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
I cannot forget it.

About her my animosity looms,
She has been cruel to me—it zooms,
I vowed ne'er to forgive her.
I cannot forget it.

In me, the hurt keeps on throbbing,
My heart goes on endlessly sobbing,
It has led me to hate her.
I cannot forget it.

I can't send thoughts of goodwill,
My mind is brimming with ill-will,
I want her too to suffer.
I cannot forget it.

I'm in complete restlessness,
I'm weighed with bitterness,
I even wish we never met,
I cannot forget it.

I dwell on the glorious days,
When we were in kind ways,
Now I'm in resentment.
I cannot forget it.

Ah! Suddenly it dawned on me, because,
She, my feelings didn't cause,
‘Tis I who have chosen to own the feelings!
Yes! I should make myself forget it!

I cannot be thus wallowing,
I should start the process of healing,
From her shoes, I should see the happening.
I shall make myself forget it.

Now I see her in new light,
I invite her to see my plight,
I say ' I'm sorry' which she denies;
She prevails upon me and says 'Sorry, Sorry! '

Shorn of ego, we clutch hands,
The under current of joy therein lands,
We sail into the healed relationship, lit!
Ah! I can forget it!

It's so hard to forget when we are hurt by our near and dear ones. But when they feel sorry we can forget it. Faboulas

We are indeed responsible for our own feelings - it is difficult, but the end result worthwhile. Very good.

A kind of emotion that wants to get free from our mind.If once we are hurt we can't forget it.. Literature mirrors our mind and society as well. Very nice poem indeed.
