Nightmares of guilt

Every night as I sleep

The nightmares of guilt visit me

Clawing at my soul

Leaving bleeding wounds

They bleed down my heart and mind

I taste the metallic blood in my mouth

Reverberating in my soul

Every night as I sleep

A new scar is what in am bestowed

Remorse rending me to pieces

Shadows in my mind continue their turmoil

Shedding tears of contrition will not work

A just punishment for my mistakes I am told

Tearing me asunder as I sleep

The nightmares of guilt are just not done

As karma visits me again and again

Repentance for my sins is a long road

An arduous even I might say

I will pay, yes i will pay

Till my penitence is attained
