Forgive

Fires do not rage if tended

Wound will heal if properly attended 

And the mending of lives may commence 

Unintended 

Is never the root of such healing in hearts 

Or in minds semblance found 

As with stubborn feet planted


Instead just walk

Not away but toward 

Tame fires with eyes 

And use healing to cure


Lest your love die 


And trust me you don’t want that, my friend
