Forgiveness Feels Like a Rotted Grave

Apologies have the potential to be sincere, Forgiveness is rarely sincere or realistic, With every mistake you bury yourself alive, One more foot deeper than before, You can feel your lungs collapsing as you gasp for a pitiful breath, You pray to be released from the coffin where your broken relationship lies, Facing endless torment and torture, Never to be allowed the sweet mercy to be put to rest, Your mistakes will forever be dug up and rehashed, Only to be buried once again to bubble up under the surface, Your relationship will forever be tarnished, Like the decaying skin on the monster your have awoken, Who’s mouth waters for revenge and answers from your simple minded brain, The stench of the rotten grave will haunt you forever, Reminding you of your moronic betrayal, This is the monster you created now get a shovel and face it head on.
