Forgiven
It is not the upbringing
That grants the forgiving
Or God bestowed grace
That given sublimates
It is not the being afraid
As if my heart was made
Some delicate piece of glass
Scared of wrongs that pass
It is just a choice
A clearer, stronger voice
That echoes in my head
And let’s the past be shed
I will not despair
On why it went there
Or carry from the past
And make transgressions last
I cannot know trials given
Easy then are slights forgiven
I have no room to judge
Nor room to hold a grudge
Holding nothing what I want
But like a circus elephant
I have not figured out just yet
Exactly how to forget
commonsensiblyspeaking 
If I give you a feather, can you fly?
If you can fly, can you fly to me and put me to sleep?
Two birds, I stone
You can forget and I can sleep peacefully
Solving our problems in perfect harmony
🖤❤
Fall into my arms
I’ll keep you safe and warm
Let the stress of the day
Slowly melt away
Close your eyes
Fantasize
Such a wishful thing
To be given wing
Flying off to you
I wish I could too
🖤💋❤💋🖤
If fairytales and wishes come true
Why can’t I fall asleep to you?
And dance among the stars in dreams
For that I’d pluck a feather from an angel’s wings
And risk heaven’s gates being closed to me
To know what it feels like
To sleep peacefully
Though you could have any other
As your tried and true lover
Let me be the one
There when day is done
To hold you while you sleep
And all your secrets keep
To give you all my best
As heart and head find rest
❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤

You make my boyfriend quite jealous, Mr. Brad. To be fair, so does Fiery, 😍
He gets to see you, touch you, and love you every day, and he is the one that is jealous? He will find no sympathy from me. I am the one who is jealous of him. Not sure when exactly he saved the world and was granted the karma to have you in his life. 🖤
Very true. He saves my world all the time, so I guess thats something 🖤
If he saves your world, that is more than just something, it is everything! Though I will always be a little jealous of certain elements, I have nothing but mad respect for the man who can love you the way you deserve! He is a hero in my book! 🦸♂️
Awww Bradiekins, he doesn’t write poetry for me like you do. You’re kept safely in my 🖤
How sweet of you to say, my Pigtailed Princess! You almost made a grown man cry. And you will always be in mine, for you have made me see the world around me differently. You have permanently changed my perception, breathed life into a dying sense of love and romance, and touched me in a way I didn’t think could happen anymore. You have touched a protected heart and because of all that, you will always be my Muse of Mayhem! You have my eternal thanks, love and support, Miss Harley! 🖤💋🥰
You are just the sweetest 🖤❤💋
Wow! So not fair what your words do to me! 😜
I could say something but best to be ladylike and not talk about such naughty things 😈
You are being such a tease…and I love you for it! 🥰
Its no secret that your older man wanting me ways brings out the beast in me 💥
Dilemma of everybody I suppose..noone wants to dwell in the past and spoil their present and future but grop to find the solutions to get over their past.
Very well written Brad
Thank you dear Meena! I do suppose we all wrestle with letting go sometimes. Over the years I have learned to forgive fairly easily, but find it impossible to forget. I can forgive the wrongs done to me, but I can never again then allow them to be in the position to do it again. I just can’t forget!
Me too and I think that’s wise ..I strictly believe in this proverb..You fool me once ..shame on u
You fool me again..shame on me😄
Well said! ❤
Beautifully said!
Thank you Kristian! So kind of you to say!
😥
That post touched a nerve in my heart. Forgetting the past is an unfathomable challenge, and sometimes it takes many years’ process to just fully forgive others – as well as yourself. Well, well written!
Thank you Sis! Love you! ❣
I sometimes hold onto grudges more than I should, I should work to just let bygones be bygones…
I think this was well received because it touches on an area of our lives we could all be better at, which makes it very relatable to most! Thank you, as always!
I was happy to know it’s not just me…
Very well put
