Tar On My Tongue

Why do I have to be the bigger person if what you have done changed our lives completely? Why is it okay for me to be broken by you, without apology or acknowledgement of your actions, and sit here just to let it all go? I live life with the hopes that my presence might change someone’s life for the better. However, I will not settle for a jagged relationship with someone who does not deserve those intentions. Forgiveness is earned and not freely given brother; humans are fickle creatures, sure, but we have strength in our resilience and mine is a tar pit for your lies.
