Forgiveness

[Galatea]

I do not know
Why you ask forgiveness
There is nothing to forgive
Shall I say I forgive you
For not loving me
As a man loves a woman?
That would be foolish
The heart does not want what the heart does not want

Whatever it is that makes you seek pardon

I give pardon, full and free

It seems absurd, but I absolve you

For not wanting me

It is alright

Wonderful poem. I think I'm going to post the link to this thread on my tumblr page, so that other people can read it too.

It is not a wonderful poem, good grief.

I would feel kind of weird about it going beyond this site.

I can not forbid you, of course.

Please wait until I take my face off my avatar before posting the link.

I’d rather not have personal comments made about my looks along with my rejected poem. That is kind of embarrassing.

You know the kind of thing I am talking about, it would be less than edifying to have my face, my rejected poem, and hateful comments about my lack of appeal tied together somewhere on tumblr.

Forgiveness, one of the great topics of Christian faith.

Keep writing you are in a safe place. Don't be afraid of pleasing others. Write what you know and what feels good to you.

My poetry sucks. Also, I don’t want to flood the forum with my gloomy writing. And worry people for no reason.

Thank you for your kind words.
