golem

you don't remember having built 
that solemn golem;  
and he would have you feel no guilt, 
though you did mold him.  

he, much to his own surprise, 
still believes you, 
although the maze of your own lies 
now deceives you. 

perhaps the evil that you've done 
will outlive you; 
but he will whisper to your bones, 
"i forgive you."
