To Sleep: The Answer
August 24th, 2009

Here is the second part to last night’s poem

To sleep
At night
I must
Believe
In love
Not just
Hate

To live
A life
In favor
Not disgrace
To hide away
To save face
To leave
Escape this place

To forgive
My sins
Is to
Forget the world
And all
It’s hate
To believe
In destiny
But not
One’s fate

I do
Deserve
To live again
To live
A life
Not burn
In sin
I do
Deserve
To see
The sun
To see
The darkness
Of the world
Undone

To see
The writing
On the grave
And always
Remember
The name
I do
Deserve
Your hate
But not
This ugly disgrace

Please
Look away
Turn in shame
I know
I have lost
The final game
I am not
Insane
I just have
Different thoughts
Deeply ingrained
I do
Deserve
To see you
And not be
Pained

Please
Ignore
This charade
That is life
Say nothing
Do nothing
Take my
Breathe
With a
Deadly kiss
Please
I don’t want
Your
Forgiveness
I only want
Your hate

    This kind of a code to forgiveness… that is the best way I can put it, and a message that I don’t want pity or need it.

    ok that makes sense. it seemed to me from reading it that it was sort of like a
    “i deserve everything, the good and the bad, and you can do and say whatever you want so long as you dont take that away from me or give me your damn pity.”
