Forgive it man!

I said.
Forget it man! And don't worry.
And I drank wine
And I slept on thorns all night.

I said.
Leave it man! And don't worry!
And I slept sleepless nights for decades.

Forgetting it didn't help me forget
Leaving it didn't help me sleep

Then one night

My heart said.
Forgive it man! And forgive more.
I sleep on flower beds from that night.

Forgetting stings the back of mind unawares
Forgiving keeps the mind calm and clear 

And now I ask you
Forgive it man! And don't worry.
