To forgive is to forget,
or so I am told.
Erase the memories
you need to unload.
Self inflict amnesia
absolve from within.
Don’t bare the scars
of another mortal sin.
But I need to remember
I don’t need to forget,
the sorrow I swallow
in each Percocet.
Misery is a friend.
She reminds me often,
the torment I suffered
cannot be forgotten.
