Forgive or Hold On

A tightening pain grips my chest with all its might
A downturned smile stubbornly sticks to my face
My eyes are too heavy to behold his face
The taste of bitterness constantly laces my tongue

Should I forgive, or should I also forget
Should I let go a little of the disdain I feel for him
Should I count it as the unavoidable errs of man
Or Should I look past this offense
and stare ahead into a happy future
