Cycle of Destruction

A good, slightly dark poem.

Renwen


Over and over again
The same offense
You have forgiven me once
And forgiven me twice

This cycle keeps going
I don't know how to stop
I wish I had the courage
I wish I had the lack of pride

Again, I offend
Again, I feel your forgiveness
Again and again
This endless cycle of destruction

I slowly fall deeper
The offense takes over me
Once more
I bow down before you
I ask forgiveness
Hoping it will be granted
Hoping to feel it wash over me

Tentatively
I ask
I close my eyes
I feel the guilt come over me
I ask again
And again I close my eyes
I feel your forgiveness wash over me
I am whole again

Until
Once more
The evil power slips over me
And I become trapped in its seductive trance
