Not Quite Ready To Forgive

Making the decision to demean someone,
Does not return fruitful dividends.
Or softens the payback one gets.

And there is nothing to romanticize,
When the time arrives and has a way...
Of making those deliveries unexpected.

And quite the surprise it is,
For the ones hoping their misdeeds...
Were not taken seriously when done.

Even though their 'fun',
Affected the life lived of someone else...
Not quite ready to forgive or forget any of it.
