Forgiveness

Forgiveness

isn’t overlooking

transgressions;

it’s seeing them

in the their

fullest, most potent

essence,

and choosing

to reconcile anyway.

Firestone Friday: Poem XVII

I think

we reject

our exes

because our

romantic relationships

offer the most

intimate look

at humanity,

and we’d rather

believe exes

are broken

than concede

that it is

the human heart

— individually and collectively —

that is repulsive.
