100 Letters

100 letters

To initiate remorse

After 100 fights

Can there still be recourse

Maybe forgiveness…

But let’s start with some discourse

There were 100 knives

100 scars that covered me

Betrayal

Intimidation

Gaslighting

Many more vile

100 nightmares

100 sessions

It’s nice to hear a genuine confession

I hear your heart

I hope that you see mine

While on Earth we are bound by time

100 Weeks… Months…

However long it takes to rebuild trust

You do the work and I’ll do mine

Bizarre this reality is coming from

someone who thought apologies were

basically a crime

Everyone deserves forgiveness if

they’re truly sorry for what they’ve

done

Doesn’t mean you invite them back

If you want to still run, run

Guilt eats away at the soul

You do one thing wrong then 20 more

At that point why change

Really what for

It’s not like I’m getting to that heavenly

door

If that’s the legacy you want then sure,

fine

Some of the brightest stars take the

longest to shine

There’s dark and light with fate and

time

You make 100 mistakes to handle 100

harder times

The 100 knives persistently stung

But I need my peace

What’s done is done

Plus, I can see you have changed in

your words and in your heart

As long as it’s not a game we could be

off to a good start
