Oh lord forgive me
for what I have done
I know you shouldn't
go eye for an eye
but what would you have done
Listen to my confession
and tell me what I should have done
I see you in the morning
I see you in the night
I see your face
But I never see your eyes
You took away my innocence
You took away my life
I knew some day we'd meet again
But this time I'm a man
I saw you hurt someone
I said I'd die for you
then I pulled the knife and killed you
you took away my innocence
But I took away your life
An eye for an eye, is not always the worst case, sometimes, to do less would be to create the most damage. Beautiful writing.
The poem leaves the reader thinking was the justice justified..life poses such challenges when hard cruel decisions turn out to be beneficial for the mankind. Good work.
