Forgiveness

PoemLyrics

Dec 2

The pulse of the snare
The hum in the ear
We came to forget
Perplexed at what we hear

The rise and the fall
They echo the drum
My downs proceed ups
My proceedings disappoint some

I didn’t come to please you
But you strum into the night
Captured by your melody
Conflicted, it doesn’t feel right

I can’t wait to sing with you
When does the song end?
A heart squeezed between strings
Your attempt has only brought fuel to my pen

Forgiveness, I came for forgiveness

Enraptured in rhythm
Vexed by subtle rhyme
Caught off guard by bounce when the bass drops
Still staring at the wall when the sound stops

Reverb that bounces in my head
Reverse early actions of the day
The verse I should have wrote earlier
Compassion can’t be overplayed

Forgiveness, I came for forgiveness
