I forgive you.
For all the things you’ve done to me.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For all the times your empty promises trickled through my head like a mountain spring.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the color red.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For when you said you would love me, then you left me.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the grass on that hill that sways every morning in the breeze.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For not being strong enough.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For the stone that’s got your name carved into it.
I forgive you.

I forgive you.
For leaving me at your own will.
Really, I do.

I forgive you.

I am not skinny.
I have too much on my bones
drooping and just laying there
doing nothing.

100.3 pounds is way too much.
I have to lose weight
so that I can catch the eye
of the boys.

No thanks, I already ate.
Oh, I suppose I could have
a grape or two
Just to make you
happy
