I am the beast
who tore this home
roamed the halls
stalked your children
I shed promise
shattered trust
and played with the pieces
I lied and smiled
I cannot be forgiven
I see you ablaze
raging against hope
a fire-storm, elated
with destruction
this is you
and not you
hear me, hear me
I can see you well
I don’t want you
today, but stay
this is our crucible
we are forged
I will forgive you
not today, but stay
I will forgive you
I cannot be forgiven
I will forgive you,
we are forged
in forgiving
this is my love
stay
