The blog is mainly about food and culture :-)

Collateral Damage

Often, when he is guilty,
he capsizes his deed in a Sorry,
a word coating the unsettled matter,
a transient cure.

It allows forgiving..
it also allows forgetting,
but the next time he is guilty..
a Sorry cannot do,
for the rage has never been explained..
for the silence has never been explained..
for the guilt itself has never been explained..
and only a word has been verbalized.. a Sorry.

And me...
in spite of my rage
my guilt
my senselessness,
I'm blameless,
for the effort to reach closure
always comes from me..
for the attempt to forgive
always comes from me..
for the hope that keeps us together
always comes from me..
for the fire of his wrongdoing
always burns me..
for the cost of his wrath
only damages me.
