《Memento Mori》xiii. what is forgiveness?
Advertisement
her anger never invoked rage in me,
never was i so blinded by red when she screamed,
her anger brought back home guilt,
tremendously suffocating guilt.
she demanded a reply to my actions
and i would choke on my words.
desperately looking for anything to say
to please, to soothe.
her look was the most sickening part.
her look ripped what little was left of me.
perhaps, if i could take my hands off my neck
to relieve the pressure,
maybe i could wrap my weary hands
around my lover's deprived body.
the comfort of a broken piece accepting itself,
will i ever witness such a thing?
will i ever be able to forgive myself?

8 94Shadow Emperor
In a world of magic where those who can wield the elements reign supreme our hero Savani finds himself reborn with a strange Assistance chip. Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
