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 f*****g 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 like this.. it has defined source and direction.. Please don't be offended, but I'd like to offer a small critique.. just an opinion, no right or wrong involved. line 5 I would have written: 'Angel-devil, But none the less' line 10 I would have written : 'in endless lands you'd lose your way'. I like line 19 : Now I'll stop... no one f*****g cares. Its very powerful, but only because you don't swear anywhere else in the prose Please dont be angry at my comments, I hope you would offer similar suggestions toward any of my writings  |

Thanks a lot to everyone who took the time to read and comment! But no, I won't change anything, as I like it this way. |
