It roars in your ears
Pounding in your heart
Feeling miserable
A cloud over your head
Just wanting it to leave
Wanting to fix things
But you know you can't
There was nothing
That you could do
And the question
Of maybe there was
Aches in your core
Because if you
Really could've
Helped in a way
It hurts to know
That in the end
You didn't do it
And it is utterly
Maddening
And it drives you
To a painful knowing
An achy realization
The somber feeling
Of having murdered hope
And it forces you to cry
To weep and sob
Your regretful apology
And a plea to forgive
To have mercy
When you just know
There's anything but.
