Guilt

Life is like that

Dries you up and turns you to stone

You can’t feel a thing and yet pain sets in

Deep in your veins

And flows like a memory;

A fluid image of days long gone

Inches up your body till it hits your heart

And blood rushes in

Fast

Rushing through the walls of your veins

Tearing them apart

Hammering your head

Numbing you

Pointing fingers at you

You feel ridden with guilt

For not turning back when you could have

Guilt kills

And leaves you breathing

No more, No less.
