.... Sorry

By Tania

Looking back its hard to remember..
Why I used each of your broken falls,
As stepping stones to heal my own wounds.
Relentless and hollow I pressed
Watching each bruise appear on your perfect skin
The skin I so desperately wanted to be in..
But I kept watching
As your heavy heart was overloaded in dead blood
Forcing through you.. gradually fracturing
every pure bone you endowed
Breaking you…
Because that is what I wanted.
Spite blinded me into believing so..
You were too flawless
luminous even in the dark
And I had to change that.
I had to taint you the way that I had been..
A crestfallen angel who still carries the scars.
And I don’t blame you for not forgiving me
Because I have never forgiven myself
And just so you know…
I never will.

    I would never forgive. This poem hits close, like a little look into the thoughts of someone who would do this to you...and I can't nor would I try to find forgiveness. This is a great poem, absolutely wonderful in fact.
