Let the Distance Heal

Resentment is like drinking poison
and waiting for the other do die.
Clinging to anger, to hurt, to victimhood
imprisons two – the one resented
and the prison guard, the one with the key.
Sure, praying for him would get it done,
but what if you can't, if you'd rather die,
prefer to stay bound to him just to hold him in?
What if you'll never forget the hurt, the agony,
the shame, the fear, the miserable years?
Are you stuck for life?
No. You don't have to do the impossible —
even if forgiveness may come from release...
Just set him in a bubble, floating, separate from you.
Wrap him in closure and watch him drift away,
far away, beyond the range of hurt. Watch the distance
as it looses the bonds and sets you free
and disentangled from him.
