Forgiveness Poem by Ibrar Siddiqi

I was taught a lesson about an affair.
Passion was good but it didn't last long.
I look back, my days full of sadness.
Walking around, frown adorning my face.

Days and nights of free flowing love.
With someone I knew that I could love.
We burnt out what loving in my soul.
Running on empty,
made me feel hungry for her.
But her fury, twice, I did incur.

All I ask is not to make love again.
But to be friends and nothing else.
All I ask is for forgiveness.
Forgiveness,
Forgiveness from your generous heart.
Forgiveness.
