I forgive you

I forgive you for the shadows that you cast, For the moments lost, the ties that couldn’t last. I forgive you for the silence that grew loud, For the dreams we built, now scattered in the crowd. I forgive you for the night you turned away, For the words unspoken that led you astray. I forgive you for the pain that lingered long, For the fleeting whispers of a care once strong. I forgive you, not to erase the past, But to find my peace, to let go at last. In the heart’s quiet chambers, I’ll set you free, For in forgiving you, I reclaim all of me.
