I cannot see blind

I cannot see blind
when you insist
upon a metal phrase
that persists to
bite and never erase
the guilt of
memories that
will not desist

I cannot see blind
when you try
to hide behind the
lens of crime
and criminals
do not become less human
when you pocket
their freedom

I cannot see blind
until I let you go
until I speak so slow
until I feel the warmth
and glow

of a forgiving heart
