OF GUILT & PAIN
Drinking those words of abuse…
Trying to gulp them down…
My heart pinches my spine
…giving me some deserved blame
…for the failure that came
Building the mountain of pressure
…with the suffocation for breath
Gilding my body with full of guilty sweat
Pricking like the thorns
That once protected the rose…
It swelled & bulged
Giving me insomnia & hallucinations
As a punishing price
For the day-dreams & enjoyment
That I had made out of life
Reality began to raise its steady face
With illusions withering away
Gifting the pain I never had
Life became difficult with
Each & every past day
Heavier to breathe
& arduous to look up & face
Fragile & fumbled became
The nature of my ashamed soul…
Who had no choice
But to give it all away…
With blood flowing
Out of my palm…
& fluttering in a lost battle
The final few moments passed by…
As I left the world with
Guilt on my face!!!!
