Forgive and Regret

I forgave someone

Once, when I was young

Because he was my father and

People tell you that you have to forgive

To move on, you have to forgive forgive forgive

They tell you, but when you do

They don’t and

You spend the rest of your life

Picking the broken glass of empty words

Out of your feet because

“Forgive, but only those I tell you to.”
