Forgive and Forget

Forgive and forget
That’s what they say,
But they don’t tell you that
There is no easy way.
There is no tap
To turn off your tears,
There is no magic wand
To evade all your fears.

How do you stop
All those feelings inside?
Those conflicting emotions,
When your head and heart collide.
You want to forget and
You want to let go,
But you head is unwilling
To let you heart know.

You’re fighting a battle
When there’s no clear winner,
You’re struggling so hard
To absolve the sinner.
Your insides are a mess
And your head is confused,
It’s hard to make sense
When your hearts been abused.

Can we ever disregard the pain?
Can we ever move on?
Or do we just fade away
Like a star that once shone.
Can the damage be repaired?
I have no answer yet,
Forgiving can be painful
But it’s harder to forget.
