Despite everything, I forgive you

Good or bad, I decided to forgive you

I decided to open the doors

go sweeping the dead leaves

unclog my aorta

and rid this place.

You can go, you can go easy

I’ve buried these lies,

I have calmed my anger

and I already know that the earth turns

even if I want to stop.

I don’t want excuses

no assertive answers

(telling me you’re sorry,

that one day the sorrow settles,

and that any time like this,

I learn to accept).

Do not say anything

because so much damage done

already stayed in the past

and I’m taking strides

to be able to heal.

I want to see you flying

enjoying the dismantling

releasing your cravings

to increase this distance

until the last resort

so that I can take you away.

Go straight on

do not look back

even if you regret

the past is not for sale

to change your subtitles

in each of the scenes

that you wanted to delete.

Go straight on,

I give you this amnesty

I sign your manumission

by act of your own

that I’ve stopped questioning.

fly, fly yes

look for a new home

and flap your wings,

stronger and stronger,

towards another north

to celebrate the death

of this grief, anyway.

fly forgiven

fly free

fly every day,

quietly,

each time

further away

of me.
