Do you forget
Promises made
Words spoken
In dim hallways?
Can you forgive
Mend and repair
Hearts broken
Without a care?
Will you remember
In days to come
How it all ended
Before it begun?
Try to forget
Promises made
Words spoken
In dim hallways

I really liked this one. Is this newly written? It brings up the concept of «forgive & forget», which is something I’ve always had difficulties with.
In all my life, I’ve written ONE poem. I was never into that, but somehow, one afternoon I just had to give it a go. Last night, I thought of it, and amazingly enough, I found it in an old blog that I had stored away somewhere.

Yes. It was written yesterday. The words just came as it is with all of the things I may just be sitting still with no thoughts about anything and then, I pick up a pen and write. Whatever I get is what it is. Some are good; some just thoughts. I keep all of them thinking maybe someday I can build from that point.
Thank you for liking this one. I can forgive; takes longer to forget.
