Can’t Forgive

CAN’T FORGIVE I can’t forgive the person who broke my heart after promising me the world. “All those good times spent together…Then that backhand move,A story cut at its peak,A budding romance shortened.I can’t forgive you for leaving my heart on ice in the middle of winter,For tearing mercilessly crushing itAnd letting it die of […]
