I'd be inclined

I'd be inclined
to forgive you
but
I wanna die
with no regrets.

Not just yet
of course.
I wouldn't want
to give you
even that
much relief.

excellent, dammit.

the obvious challenge: when one is near enough to death, is the withholding of forgiveness greater cause for regret than forgiveness itself? but then, who could forgive hitler or stalin and pass peacefully from this life? shit, who could forgive jimmy carter's 55 mph speed limit for that matter(?)..
