To Forgive



I do not feel Forgiveness
That is not my place.
One day you will face your maker
And He'll decide your fate.
I'm torchered by these painful thoughts
I cannot get past this place
As if time is standing still
I'm frozen in time and space
I do not feel Forgiveness
I will never feel true peace
Your face will always haunt me
In my nightmares as I sleep
The flashbacks as he laid there
Cold and all alone
No one deserves to go like that
Your fate I hope is horrid
I hope your stay in Prison
Finds you cold and alone.
Everyday reminded
By the life you took away.
I will not Forgive You.
Ever...
