Sorry to the girl I could have saved

Bring me my glasses and sit on the chair Excuse me as I cough again The secret I have locked up in my head Is destroying my tired brain Three months and two days they reckon Is all that I have left to serve But the guilt that’s burnt up inside me Has risen and touched a nerve As a young man I was a singer At night I stole to make ends meet In the day time I was up on the stage Then in the evening I would wander the streets I saw a young girl beaten very badly Her body was twitching in the road My pockets were full of others assets She called out for someone to hold Help me she cried into the dark I need to go somewhere for the pain So I crouched down on my knees Loud thunderclouds released some rain And I delved deep into her pockets Taking her money and a gold glasses case She slipped away in front of my eyes Hell became my resting place I let her die and I don’t know why I just took without a care I should have took her to a safer place But instead I just left her there In three months and two days I’ll burn Inside the gates of a fire drenched hell I’m sorry I’m sorry for what I’ve done And now I’ve no secret to tell Sorry to the girl I could have saved Please forgive me today Sorry to the girl I could have saved Rest in peace is all I’ll say Rest in peace is all I’ll say

Wow!...Andrew...what a poem!.....desperation makes us not think twice...to carry a guilt like that...is a life sentence....but to show, and feel true remorse....is a release...✌ðŸ»
