Forgiveness

Shards of glass in a fatal wound,
No more worries - I’m leaving soon.
You’re the poison, and you’re the knife,
You’re the demon that saved my life,


Angel-devil, and not the less,
A heartbreaker, but still the best.
A denial, a myth, a wraith,
Well-known stranger who stole my faith.

I know you’re afraid that all alone
You’ll make your way through lands of endless rains.
In front of you is only the unknown
Behind your back is just this hollow pain…

Sleeping pills, bittersweet champagne -
I am watching my empty brain
Drowning quickly in alcohol…
But won’t drown my longing soul.
In this strife I’m a knight, but scared,
And I’m feeling… oh well, enough!
Now I’ll stop… no one fucking cares.
You have never believed in…

In my devotion.

But I’m not afraid that all alone
I’ll make my way through lands of endless rains.
In front of me is only the unknown
Behind my back is just this hollow pain…

But with arms broken I’ll fight,
By my forgiveness
My broken heart is revived -
I’m alive!

And I’m not afraid that all alone
I’ll make my way through lands of endless rains.
In front of me is only the unknown
Behind my back is just this hollow pain…

I really enjoyed your poem “Forgiveness”
You used the right words to explain your point without being too simple

Nicely done.
