Erase his memory…
And wipe it clean…
Remove the faces…
That he has seen…
The ones he’s hurt…
And uttered his lies…
That stain his soul…
Making him despise…
Every bad thought…
Every wrong deed…
That was sown…
By the Devil’s seed…
And infected his head…
With Sinner’s thoughts…
Diverting him away…
From all he was taught…
About right and wrong…
The good and the bad…
Now he looks back…
And he feels so sad…
As the fun distraction…
That made him smile…
Will be held against him…
At the final trial…
Of his dirty soul…
As he meets his maker…
And stands in judgement…
Accused of being a faker…
Before being condemned…
To an afterlife in Hell…
Chained to his Master…
For being an infidel…
Because for every action…
He knew the high price…
Yet was still addicted…
To thrills in the night…
Now haunting his memory…
Making him silently scream…
As it comes flooding back…
When she whispers
“Sweet dreams”…

I’m not the sort of person who understands poems, but this one really spoke to me. A man who is marked with indelible torment. Beautifully written! Thanks for that.
