Saying something that hurts others

Obviously isn't a good thing to be done

Regret, but we land up sabotaging relations

Rather than fixing it up and keep going ahead

Yesterday's gone and life has moved on

 

Sorry isn't gonna get things back together

But it sure heals the emotional wounds

Both parties have their unfair words to repent for

No one becomes small or low, saying sorry 

You said it when you felt you were wrong

In order to safeguard a relationship that's strong

I'm saying it cos I too have hurt you and everyone

I ain't perfect that's a sin I've committed

That's why I apologise with regrets within

Hoping for forgiveness to anoint what's broken

 

Certain words can never be forgotten nor forgiven

It takes a generously kind heart to keep on forgiving

That's how relationships last life time and beyond

That's why I wear this word on my heart

But not everyone has same emotions and feelings

Revenge is a therapy used to unhurt the damages done

Whatever one's choice be that's how they deal

It's perfectly alright not forgiving or feeling guilty

If walking away is the final decision to keep

 

I've forgiven but wounds remain

Decisions always made even when I'm scared

A little jolt breaks open the old wound seals

Making me quiver and feel uneasy 

Not a justification for wrongs I may do

But definitely experiences good or bad

Wounds healed or sealed

Play a major role in life's decisions to make

Still shivers runs down my spine

Although a strong show I may have displayed

But my nightmares that I've dealt with still scares

 

I know how it feels to wound and hurt others

I may not do it intentionally to break someone into pieces

But I've done it too, for which sincere regrets flows as tears too

Hoping mercy be in their hearts to forgive me

Although I know wounds of words don't heal 

But I pray to God to heal what I broke intentionally or unintentionally

And staying away is the best way to deal, so that in future it's not repeated 

I open my heart filled with sincere apologies

Although nothing can be undone neither by you nor me

But maintaining a safe distance is what I wish to forever keep
