Unburdened

To forgive the silence,

an absence of regret,

is to hold a mirror to my own heart,

and let it quietly reset.

No words came forth,

no whisper of remorse,

yet I release the weight,

unchaining my own course.

Through shadows of unoffered peace,

a path emerges where pain may cease;

an apology unheard, unseen,

but freedom woven through the seam.

I walk away lighter,

carrying only what's mine;

closing this chapter,

leaving the rest behind.
