Unforgiven

I can't seem to stop dreaming of the scattered bodies that lay along the way They lost their lives years ago, but still live in me till this day I can still see their faces, their eyes watch me so My mind takes me to these places, to torture my troubled soul And I'm tortured for taking the only true possession we hold in this world Life.....and I've taken it from the young, and from the old And this has made my heart heavy, blood cold Sleep....I can never truly sleep For each time I lay my head to rest, they come for me Taking me back to that time when they lived and breathed Doomed... am I doomed to dream on and on, nightmare after nightmare, until my soul is gone? Oh, how I pray they'll leave me and let me live my life It seems I cannot find love with this horror that's inside I wish I could be like a child who never lost their innocence But this wish can never be until I'm forgiven for my sins

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you, and yes, He can forgive you as you trust in Him, confessing your sins.

Man, this is hard to read. I know of forgiveness in only one place. My sins were different, but a great offense nonetheless. Ours have been forgiven, but our work is to accept and believe the one who did that for us. I pray you find peace through forgiveness.
