Analysis of Forgive nor Forget
Jasmine Prater 2003 (Oklahoma City)
I don’t know how to love, when I have never been loved right. You would tell me that I’m enough, but how could I believe someone who only knows how to lie?
I forgive but not forget; but how am I able to forgive when all I want to do is forget. I struggle because of you, and that is something worth questioning my judgment for. I let you get the best of me when I could’ve used that for something more than what we were.
I questioned my judgment for you, even though I know it wasn’t my fault. You made me do things I would’ve never done, and that is something not worth forgiving at all.
I can’t believe I loved someone who made me feel insane, but I need to accept that I loved you, so I could forget about all the things you did that brought me pain. You told me that you loved me, but all you did was a lie.
You never really loved me, because if you did, then you wouldn’t have made me cry.
You never really loved me
All you did was make me cry.
