Cold stinging rain
   pounding my soul
Strong wind pushing me toward
   an unwanted reality
Cloudy
   dreary
      destructive
Searching desperately
   for
      the
         sun

You may have been hurt a thousand times,
Or destroyed with WORDS as hot as FIRE,
You may be broken and shattered,
You may not know what else to do,
So you resort to becoming bitter with words,
Aiming at attacking the ones that got away with you
Did they break you or ****** YOU?
Did it throw you into pieces?
And now you want to burn them in anyway?
Why not sit, ponder and SEARCH,
Sit again and see,
As long as you are bitter and fighting back,
There will be no peace,
For there is more energy and stress exerted in fighting than forgiving.
Forgive and let go.
It will soothe you,
It will him too.
Forgive,
Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath
And let it go
For it burdens your heart
And soon will make you collapse.
Let us all embrace ourselves as one even with our poetry, you don't have to leave this site for been hurt, someone out there needs your kind poems to sirvive. Forgive and MOVE ON. We are all pencils in the EYES of God.

All I remember is
your anger

insults
and pain
and bitter words
instead of
hugs
and kisses
and
soft
tender
touches

I wish I could remember
the good times

laughs
we shared
and
dreams
of the future

Were there any?
Do you remember?
