WORDS OF REMORSE WON'T RAISE LAZARUS

Not that you doomed yourself,

when you could have it all -

in a moderate sort of way -

but that you doomed others -

now, how can anyone forgive that?

Only what can be unmade or restored

can be truly forgiven;

all else is just putting a plaster

on a tiny wound to hush the crying,

when your own spirit is breaking.
