Forgive And Forget Poem by Lisa Teres Fraser

I thought that I could forget your voice
I thought that was MY choice
Others have come
But the past cannot be undone

I wish I couldn't see you in my mind
I wish I could just unwind
I wish I couldn't feel you in my soul
I wish I could fill the hole

I have tried to shut you out of my life
Yet sometimes I wish I was your wife
I want to close the door
Settle the score

I know I deserve more
Yet I still try to pick the pieces off the floor

I wrote you a letter
It made me feel better
Then I felt sick
Because I called you a dick

Some say that's closure
But I wished for torchure
I wished you pain
Because then we would feel the same

So I must say goodbye
I am too tired to cry
I must move on
I must be strong

So this is the end
Maybe I will call you a friend
But until then
Let's just pretend.
