Unforgiven
Move over forgiveness
pardon the disorder
watch as you step
through the mind of a hoarder
Grudges stored
collecting dust
memories carelessly
wrapped in disgust
The air is thick
smelling of spite
intoxicating the space
it threatens to ignite
Silence is pierced
by a venomous tongue
lashing open old wounds
as it spits how they stung
Polluted by hate
the environment reeks
but the smell is controlled
by the secrets it keeps
So excuse the clutter
give plenty of space
absolution is burried
and there's no sign of grace
Unwilling to purge
holding on to affliction
return apology to sender
along with conviction
