My ramblings....

Forgiveness

Annie lays back and counts numbers in her head
How many times must she feel this way
She traces the line from point to point and wonders if the lead will break
Annie wonders if taking offense is a sin, and how long she can hold it for
How many days before offense turns into grudge?
Somehow it always fades away before she can figure it out
She would like to write a statement of rebuttle
Because surely, the offender needs to hear her feelings
And it's not as though the feelings quit, so they should be heard over and over
Annie would like to repeat: "You've hurt me, you've hurt me, you've hurt me"
Because she doesn't know if they've got it yet
Instead she lays her head back down
Holding her tongue
Annie lifts her chest, and its contents, up to the sky
The only way she can seem to remove it from her body
Hoping someone else will pick it up and clean it off
Giving her back a mended heart and a new day
