We're told to forgive and forget. Why should we?


Poem Artwork

 

Don’t ask for forgiveness for what you have done
A life has been taken and you were the one
 
One loved by so many, their life has now passed
You took this away by your murdering grasp
 
A life so innocent, so sweet and so young
Ended prematurely by what you have done
 
You still have your life locked up in your cell
You should have been hung, left rotting in hell
 
I’m told you are sorry, your mind was disturbed
I don’t give a f***, I don’t want you heard
 
For justice to be done, your life should be gone too
And I’d be the one who would take it from you
 
I’d spit on your grave and stamp on your soul
I’d hope you’re in pain as you rot in your hole
 
Justice isn’t done, you can still breathe
I am the one who’s left to grieve
 
 
‘Time’s a great healer’; ‘We're all here for you’
I can’t bring them back and neither can you
 
Nobody can; no mortal or god
I walk through my life on the ground you once trod
 
I don’t want counselling, a hug or the church
I just want justice, I’ll continue my search
 
Don’t ask for forgiveness, you’ll get none from me
I’m trapped in this pain, I’ll never be free
