The taste of rotting muscle

So thick on my tongue.

It's only been 24 hours

Since I've last seen my son.

The clouds are going away

And in there place, a thick storm.

It will wash away everything

Even my son's tiny little form.

I dare not say

What I have done.

Even the greatest sins

Add up to none.

For I have done,

something not quite right.

In my eyes, I tried with all my might.

In your eyes, I gave up the fight.

You may be wondering.

You may be confused.

Let me tell you,

This is not a ruse.

My time is nearly done.

As for my son

Well..

His time has just begun.
