Forgiveness

Against the ship the waves crashed,

Son of a chieftain I was born,

Full of rage, many lives I smashed.

From your green house you were rudely torn,

Harsh words played like music from a loud horn,

Wanting love while your heart I bashed.

A hole of guilt in my heart gashed,

Your bitter tears prick me like a thorn.

Leave the old pain, no more rehashed,

Give your forgiveness and be reborn.

This is the poem that will be used in my story The Ocean Between Us, which is currently being edited. Please review! :) xoxo - Em
