if you hurt me
i will not complain
that is too
common neither will
i retaliate
that is too human
neither will i make
a scheme for
your eventual destruction
that is too
rude, or crude art
of survival
something divine
sparks within our
hearts
no vengeance
plain understanding
why one
wants to hurt and why
one must not
exact vengeance
or demand
justice anymore
God knows best.
This is cliche. And i
am taking it.
