the trouble with forgiveness

i struggle with forgiveness.

it's the hardest thing for me to do
once
wronged.

so i get it when others feel the same
towards me.
i understand
completely

how hard it is to turn the other cheek,
to forgive
seven times
seventy.

to tell each other,
your sins are forgiven, to go and sin
no more is
close to impossible.

i get it
when there's a closing of the door.

I've closed many myself, reluctantly,
but turning the lock

and walking away when you can't
forgive once more.
