Atonement

Torn apart by betrayal
The truth is unbearable
A strong conviction
Impossible to forget

Lost in desperation
Only hope remaining

A faint misunderstanding
With a pinch of jealousy
The kind of an incident
No-one would ever wish to happen

An unexpected act
Had consequences near and far
Shattered a life
That was to shine like a star

Betrayed and innocent
He fought with the undying hope
Trying to get his life back

The way you walked
The way you looked
Your faint pressence –
A delicate smile
I'll never see again

Moments of glory
Just ripples in my mind
Memories of the past
Vanished to the last

A lifelong remorse
A never-ending atonement
A atonement forever made
