Guilt

here is something come between us

Unseen and yet as solid as a stone

A voice that screams

While words remain unspoken

Regrets and dreams

Pass for thoughts unknown

I pretend that I don’t see it

But it’s there, and it does not let me rest

It pinches me

Like a pebble in my shoe

Has come to be

A hunger in my chest

I have crafted it stone by stone

This wall between us solidly I built

With what I’ve done

And what I have failed to do

And then I run

Away from all my guilt

There is no place for me to go

This prison has been all my own design

It was, you see

A moment without thinking

If I could be

A new skin for this wine

How I wish I could undo things

This loss is more than you could ever know

I let my pride

Stand between us, me and you

And how I’ve cried

For help to let it go
