Guilt

The feeling of guilt

Collisions of fractured fangs rejoicing in your flesh

They shred and splinter plush, yet heartless skin that cakes thickly on naive bones

Rust blurs on blind eyelashes

Clearing an obscure view that made your form seem not quite right

Intertwining those spindled cobwebs on the tongue

Trapping heedless words and mindless tones in their design


The cause of guilt

Thoughts that oscillate through the tunnels of the mind

A melody of them overflowing along the rushed openings

Spilling, spilling, spilling

Blood onto the battered and dismal walls of your bruises

Deepening their hues to a sickly indigo and a thunderstorm of black

Watching as you shrivel into an ashen self


The conquer of guilt

Wallowing in the shallow waters of time

Contemplating as the strings of liquid lace through numb fingertips

Waiting for that tide to submerge and drown an antiquated heart beneath its agony

On withered knees, praying for you to hold back your torrents

Hold back those seething waves and untamed winds

For only you can mend the guilty wounds pooling under my feet
