Spit it Out

Neville

Spit it Out

 

Why don’t you

just bite your tongue

   …

And break the silence

neither of us really wanted

   …

Where lies

are not long, nor lost or wasted

   …

But well hidden among

yesterday’s contempt and distaste

   …

Oh’ and love of course

there was always a touch of that

   …

Come on …..

why not just bite your tongue

   …

And learn the lesson

we have all come to call forgiveness

   …

feel free to insert a name of your own choosing in the space above

    With an appeal like this how could anyone refuse to let sleeping dogs lie and start over again -- your words end in the state folk need to cultivate more Nev - -- that of forgiveness. -- oh and I would insert the last word as BABE.......... dont ask me why but I think it may fit the previous rhyming ....................x

      Some become so enraged by the hurt they experience that they are unable to forgive.... i had the experience of being with one for a while.
      Forgiveness is the lubricant of life really.

      A really stirring, deep piece from you today.

          Oh such truths one speaks!
          Forgiveness is an assets
          It’s the forgetting, not so easy

            Forgiveness is the way to be in this life but many just do not see it that way.
