LESS

It pains so much to hear
bad things about yourself
from people you don't even know

But it hurts so much more
coming from people you believe
to be friends you can rely on

Sorry is such an easy word to say
but it amounts to nothing
when uttered carelessly

"to forgive is divine" they tell me
but i'm not a saint so please understand
it will take quite a while to smile again

one day or will it be tomorrow
the sun will come out
maybe by then everything will be fine

but, for now, less is better for you and me
the wounds are still fresh so just let it be
