Silent Remorse

In the stillness of the night, 

Beneath the shadow's chilling might,

I carry with me a heavy load, 

A burden that weighs on my soul.


For I have walked a darker path, 

And felt the aftermath of wrath, 

A life extinguished by my hand, 

A deed that I can't understand.


The echoes of the final breath, 

Haunt me in the face of death,

I see their eyes, so full of fear, 

And feel the weight of every tear.


I cannot shake the guilt that clings,

Or silence the remorse that sings, 

A symphony of pain and grief, 

A constant torment, no relief.


I bear the weight of what I've done, 

A heavy chain that cannot be undone, 

And though I seek to find some peace, 

The burden of my guilt won't cease.


But in the darkness, I still strive, 

To find redemption, to revive, 

To carry on despite the weight, 

And learn to live with my mistakes.


For though I walk a path of woe, 

I hold onto a flicker of hope, 

That one day I may find release, 

And finally lay my burden at peace.
