I forgive
though the texture of my heart
will never be the same
Once, it was so smooth and soft
back when I only knew
that I just wanted
to love all others
Now, I’ve learned that
such a pure simplicity
will constantly be challenged
when nothing in life
could matter more
But why couldn’t you
just let me keep believing
that the sweet pure spirit of love
would insulate my heart
from any permanent damage?
