he pins you to the earth and
you can feel a lightness pulse
through his veins like ichor,
the way it was intended to flow
before your ruination.

for the first time, you feel small
beneath his gaze.

you whimper,
"what do you plan to do to me?"




he whispers,
"forgive."
memory lane is longer than i remember
every woe felt and then forgotten
so now that i choose to look back
every good moment has turned to something rotten
just going through mementos and remembering how many times people have hurt me and how i chose to forget and forgive....
Tony Tweedy Feb 2020
Of darkest obsidian like sharp shards the guilts upon my soul.
Deeply cut the wounds I carry that now make me less than whole.
By choice and deed I know who it is that I have hurt and wronged.
Through consequence of choice I made, my torture has belonged.
A price I paid and yet payment can never recompense.
As soul is tattered in self loathing and I am bereft of all defence.
There is no way to make amends or make a penance for my deeds.
My life has no more meaning and my soul eternally yet bleeds.
I cannot ask forgiveness and of salvation there is none.
For all the things I chose in selfishness, will never be undone.
Maybe priest or God will absolve me by the offering of some chant.
But despise my heart and soul, to forgive myself I cant.
What can you do when you no longer believe your own lies?

a feather, even
if anger was a boulder
i rather shoulder.
sometimes there are things we cannot forgive,
and that's okay.

Gabriel, I want to talk to you...
But my fingers don't do what I tell them to do...
My brain also whispers to my heart...
"He's the one that tore you apart!"
My heart answers with a stronger call...
"He did what he thought was best for all!"
My brain mumbles...
"But have you forgotten about your divided heart pieces and crumbles?"
My heart doesn't agree...
"I once did the same to him, don't you see?"
My brain doesn't have an answer to that at all...
"But... But... But he made you fall!"
My heart answers again...
"I've had worse times, you are supposed to remember when..."
My brain thinks as hard as possible...
My heart tests the strength of a friendship cable...
"I've forgiven him... And there's nothing you can do to reverse that..."
My brain is speechless, "W... Wh... What?"
My heart gives a dull spark...
"My love hasn't turned completely dark..."

Fights the heart
Mind restrains
Heart weeps
Mind moans
Mind keeps me quite
Heart beats faster
Mind calmer
Heart stronger
A fight,
Fight between mind and heart,
If heart wins , I lose
If Mind wins, I forgive
Finally ,
Mind wins,
I forgive you.

(Verse 1:)
The thought of how we will be spending our time
February 14th
Valentine's
This year makes me cry
I'll probably be by your side
Always will until we die
Maybe feel we have no choice
No one else can stand the sound of my voice
I only see myself with you
See my pain but have no clue
You still break my heart in two
Time passed us
We both grew
Both people are someone new
Not the kids we once knew
Died once
You did too
Dreams I hope still come true
Disappearing into blue
Can only attempt to pursue
A relationship if you want to too

(Hook:)
Love the reason we hold on
For us can always depend upon
Understanding forgiveness isn't what we aren't getting
Harder part for us is forgetting

(Verse 2:)
I do not like the saying "forgive and forget"
Not everyone is ready for that yet
Everything about you makes me upset
This is apologizing for all that I regret
I am not living to please anyone else
Tried that but only lost myself
Brain is wrecked
I need help
Off drugs and out of this hell
I think secretly like the torture
Head is aware but somehow unsure
Mind is tormented by thoughts so impure
Way out blocked by pictures of what we were

(Hook)

(Bridge:)
We are loyal solely to eachother
Maybe that's the issue
We stay and stay despite pain
Just don't wanna miss you
You do not want to be lonely either
We break eachother piece by piece
But wonder if we separated
Would finally have our peace?
Just a rap with no beat to accompany it

Stranger
When I was but a child
anywhere I go I find magic
and you could see the joy
and delight in me everywhere

I go; but as I become a man
life becomes a strange thing
and I stranger to all the magical
places and people I use to love.

Standing from outside and looking
in now I realize what turn me
into a stranger it was because
I let the child in me die
© A B Faniki 01/07/2020 all right reserved part of banal tells coming soon. As a child i se the good in people and things everywhere I go and forgive easilybit as a grown up thing are not so much I find fault with thing and find it hard to forgive like kids do.
