Some things that are done will not be forgiven
No matter how long we go on with this living
There sometimes are breaches that cannot be mended
Connections are broken, relations have ended
We hope to find mercy through pardoning mien
Yet lies there a line that is tight-roped between
That place full of anger that seeks to sustain
Where hot ball of fire can oft dull the pain
And yet the desire for leniency
To summon compassion just might set us free
Such complex emotions make humans a mess
To fight our first instinct to strike in defense
Is one of the traits that we hold to be dearest
To offer up mercy is an action that’s peerless
But - there must be concession to give one consent
When wanting reprieve that sincerely is meant
To not need atonement nor seek absolution
Remaining in limbo without resolution
Is also a place where a person exists
That hoarding of bitter in tightly clenched fist
We must give them space and show deep understanding
To let go resentments can seem too demanding
Perhaps in good time there is fix to be found
But even if not, it’s still judgment that’s sound
For there’s no single way that a soul finds release
Nor can we insist how a heart will make peace…
