YOU CHOOSE NOT TO FORGIVE

  

 

You choose

not to forgive

It’s your prerogative

It’s wholly your right

to cling to meaningless grudges

imagined slights

and otherwise

 

You choose not to forgive

but the weight won’t be

on my shoulders

You choose

not to forgive

but you’ll carry the weight

of this ill faith and bitterness

on your own soul
