Challenge
only if
write a poem/prose starting with only if
life is too long to forgive you
only if the sands of time
could slip down the
sides of the hourglass
a little faster
i would be able to forgive
to forget
to rush through healing in time
for the end,
a sprint towards happiness so i can die with no regrets.
but life is long,
grudges linger
and i have all the time in the world
to heal.
and if i get struck by a bus tomorrow
and die with my bitterness
will i regret not forgiving?
or will i be glad,
because maybe in death
i will finally realize
that my forgiveness is not deserved.
they may have my understanding
my pity
but never my forgiveness.
life is too long for that.
