Forgiveness is an Amputation

Fanning away midsummer heat, here's your Saturday Post!

Forgiveness is an amputation

With phantom limbs

I've got some more cutting to do

I was told once and remind again

Try to be brave enough

To break your own heart

Embrace the pain and freedom

And never forget that

Pride and ego bind a wound

Habit is holding grudge

For that toxic tourniquet

One must make deep the cut

Forgiveness is an amputation

Sometimes with phantom pains

I've got some more cutting to do

But I am still running my race

The salty taste of things done in the dark cry out to be held forever, as if a tidal wave could protect a pearl. "It is a sin to lock yourself in a dark past when you hold such a light within you as your real self. Your free self."
