Luka's
Confession
I've seen many terrible things in my day,
Things no person should ever have to see.
Things many are forced to see.
I've lived through war.
I've known the pain of those,
Those who never said goodbye.
I've know pain,
I've know it all to well.
I've wished that it would go away.
I've seen thousands die.
You could say that's my job.
I try to help, often in vain.
I came here to escape,
I wanted to forget my pain,
But it's the type of thing that no-one can
forget.
I killed a man.
They say it was self defense.
But was it? I may never know.
So Father, that's my story.
That is the demon that tortures me.
Do you understand?
Thank-you Father,
You've been a patient listener.
May you too can forgive me.
Pray for me,
When you've left this earth.
Pray for me.
