Realization of a Man While Dying

Realization of a man
While dying,
On an execution table;
Looking at eyes 
Of a mom of the victim,
Whom he raped and killed; 
I know crime is 
Beyond the sin,
I did to your child;
Yes I remember she cried
In pain and anguish;
Yes the pain of humiliation,
The hurt of murdering dignity,
She endured;
I feel it now in the death table,
I don't I say, 
I repent for why I did?
As was already done,
Which I should not have;
I bear the death penalty,
It's justice, don't repent;
Only a few moments left,
Before the time to tick;
I beg your pardon for your loss, 
I am no worth to live this life;
Forgive me mam if you can;
I know my death hasn't enough,
Spell to heal your wound;
I know, 
No peace for me,
Even after the death;
Please forgive me,
Don't want to see you,
Feel still sad,
After my death;
