AN: Another poem from Chemistry, this time about Malik. Again the line breaks are just to show you where the stanzas end. Enjoy.


Forgiveness

Everday brings me heartache

Every night brings me tears

The weight of my sacrifice crushes me

The burden of my pain suffocates me

All I have left is anger

A hatred that threatens to consume


Why didn't he listen?

Why did he act so reckless?

If only he wasn't the favorite

If only he wasn't our savior

He took from me my happiness

He took from me my life


Like a disease they cut me from the body

Like a sickly Spartan babe they tossed me out

The ghost of my memories haunts me

While the ache of longing torments me

I have no one to turn to for comfort

I have only the anger to drown the pain


None hear my anguished cries

None answer my lonely howls

Condemned to a life in this cage

Sentenced to endless ridicule

His presence mocks me

His life enrages me


Two arms reach for me

And I have only one to reach back

My anger turns from him

Focusing on my own faults

How could I ignore the wrong done to me?

How could I forget my pain so easily?


How could I forgive him?
