Unforgiven

A Poem about the Holocaust

Mountains move ever so slowly

The cold misty wind sends a shiver down the spine

A hearty laugh echo in their ears

Growling ever so effortlessly

A tender sigh weakens the knees of the hopeless

Forgotten and bound to the chains around the ankles of the fallen 

The smell of despair fills the air so thick you could cut it with a knife. 

Tears fall down the faces who mourn for their stolen hearts as they are collected into jars, one by one thousands by thousands 

A grip so tight it leaves bruises around their wrist 

Hypnotized by words of evil spirits who possess their souls 

Crying out for help begging for mercy

Screaming out in pain 

Save, save me 

It comes out as only a whisper 

Please listen to the cry they yell 

The heavy chest fights to rise

Gasping for a single breath

Clawing at the large cage they locked themselves in

Searching for a way to hold onto to the light shining in front of them 

The soreness forms in their throats from screaming

To the outside world again only a whisper

Kicking waving their arms to draw attention 

Notice me they plead 

On all fours digging into the turf

Barely making a dent

Escaping is what they yearn for most 

Escape the relationship, as they suck on their soul and leave them penniless 

Escape the pain, as the loss drags them closer to the darkness 

Their ragged breath heats the room as they lay on the ground

Tired losing faith of any chance of survival 

Give up just give up the voice taunts in their minds 

Aggressively they fight to get free 

Yet they haven't moved a single limb 

The mountains stopped moving 

The cold misty winds goes still 

The hearty laugh still echoes in their ears
