You want me to forgive him?!
I want you to forgive.

He must atone!
Is atonement punishment?

He must pay in kind!
Must it be you inflicting justice?

He must feel the pain I feel!
Cry out your anger.
Listen to his cries.

I can’t condone what he did.
Forgiveness is not assent.

I can’t be near him.
Forgiveness is not a bond.

Things will never be as they were.
There is yesterday and tomorrow.
Where will you live?

I will still mourn.
Yes, anger and loss
live with hope and love.
