Forgiving does not erase to replace,
Or eliminate a pain to feel that is felt.
And words to use to abuse someone,
Has a way to linger...
When reminiscing them is done.
Forget the forgetting.
It just does not happen.
Especially when acts like this,
Are meant to personally attack.
With a doing unexpected for that to come back.

The affect of what one says,
Is there to stay to replay in one's head 'forever'.
And better it is for this to be expressed,
By the one to have it acknowledged...
To another to have this addressed.
Instead of pretending to others solicited,
Unaware of those comments made...
To have them also believe,
Something done in innocence...
Should not have left one victimized oversensitive.

'You 'had' to have done 'something',
For them to react as if you don't exist.'

~I said or did nothing I have not done to do or say,
That had not been any different for many years.~

'Oh.
So they aren't sensitive.
They just got tired of your same repeated nonsense.
I understand.
They took the initiative to make the difference.
And ridding oneself from that kind of addiction,
Takes courage.'

~Excuse me?
What do you mean by that?
Who's side are you on? ~

Lawrence S. Pertillar
