Trying to let it rest

Neither can I turn back time,
Nor can I earse my memory,
The arms of guilt start to climb,
Around me feeling deregatory.

Fingers pointing at me as well you,
As if passing on the blame can cure our souls.

I'll forgive if you will too,
I'll let go if you meet me half way through,
I'll sleep a peaceful night,
I'll let your soul rest too.

I carry you around like a burden,
I need to get you off my chest,
I need to know what it feels like to breathe again,
I need to let all the hurt between us rest.

Our laughter surrounds me,
Reminding me of the days that the sun did shine,
Where one little incident didn't alter our lives,
I need that easy-going companionship,
Rather than awkward silence and forced company.

I'll forgive if you will too,
I'll let go if you meet me half way through,
I'll sleep a peaceful night,
I'll let your soul rest too.

I remember the days I looked up to you,
I saw the pride in your eyes,
All I see now is the bleak unreadable expression,
I see the fake smile and forced lies.

I carry you around like a burden,
I need to get you off my chest,
I need to know what it feels like to breathe again,
I need to let all the hurt between us rest.

I'll forgive if you will too,
I'll let go if you meet me half way through,
I'll sleep a peaceful night,
I'll let your soul rest too.

F.i.in.e Moods The PoetBay support member heart!
A wish for better times and bygones to be let to be bygones... emotive, and feelings most would relate to whatever the circumstances these words are about. Makes me wish for peace for the concerned parties in this situation... beautifully expressed - thanks.

This is so strong, the feelings so deep and pleading. Some people seem able to forgive but require a long time to forget. Give him lots of time, if your heart can spare it. What a sad situation! I think I understand what might have happened and I can relate. The relationship might never be the same again although compromises might work. So difficult.
