Is my heart aching or am I still angry?

Is this ache bitterness, is it protection, or is it both?

.

.

If the bridge between us damaged my soul,

shouldn’t I feel peace when the bridge has been burnt to the ground?

Even if I wasn’t the one holding the match?

.

.

If there is an encounter written in the stars, do I act like I am okay?

Is forgiveness pretending to be okay when under my skin my heart beats faster and my mind silently screams at me to run?

.

.

If forgiveness isn’t synonymous with pretending to be fine, then what is it?

Is it laying your soul at the feet of those same people that trampled on it before?

.

.

Is remembering,

using caution,

being anxious,

holding a grudge?

.

.

How do you dig up the posts that held the bridge if they are too far into the riverbed?

.

.

How do you heal the riverbed so new life can flow into the empty spaces?

.

.

What is forgiveness?

.

.

How do you forget forever?
