Forgiveness

The heart aches for forgiveness
And the soul weeps of misery
The rain is crying tears of blood
The wind is howling of deep sorrow
Why won't the pain stop
The knife driving in deeper
Jagged memories flash before her
Petrified of what is to come
Voices ringing in her head.

Childhood memories haunt her through and through
The past terrifies her
And is now reunited
The hurtful words that once were said
Have now come to past
Waking up in a deep sweat
Blinding her vision
Of once was and now has begun
Forgiveness is a word that is easily said
But is wrong not to do
How do you forgive when you cannot forget
Haunted by screams
Memories flooding through and through
Time will tell all
And never again will be spoken!!

Robert Pettit January 23, 2014 at 1:20 PM This is a writing with feeling. You need two small corrections in your thirteenth and fourteenth lines: replace "was" with "were" and "Has" with "Have". You are dealing with a plural noun here. Trish Ann Hubbard January 24, 2014 at 9:07 AM Figured it out lol it is now fixed and thank you again :) sometimes when I'm writing I fly through it not thinking cause I write what I feel at the moment so thank you again :) Trish Ann Hubbard January 24, 2014 at 9:04 AM Thank you very much Robert, I have fixed that on my paper, now if I can just figure out how to fix it on here lol It is one of my favorite poems I have wrote, it is about my first husband so it does have a lot of emotion that goes with it.
