Guilt

You follow me around for years

Every time I think I escape you

There you are bringing me back to tears.

Haunting my dreams

Scaring away my hopes

Tampering with my reality.

Try as I may to forget you

Try my best to hide the truth

Its not that easy to do.

I’m scared, I run

I hide

Yet you find me every time.

You darken my soul

I know you’re there watching my every move

You haunt me waiting for the perfect time

To plot your torture of my body and mind.

He’s forgiven me

Why cant you?

I try to forget you

Try to move forward

Yet there you are again

Years later, you show your face.

You follow me around for years

Every time I think I escape you

There you are bringing me back to tears.

 

 

This is my first poem I’ve written in over a year, so I’m a little rusty. Just what I’m feeling tonight. Not really much thought going into this one.
