Guilt

by Austin   Jun 29, 2005


Its darker than before
The silence resting
outside your door
And the wind is saying to me
The false lullabies you sang
The rain is coming down so hard
and the sky is as black
As your heart
But tonight it all ends
Here at my graveside
Dropping all my baggage
Laying it all beside you
Letting you know that this hole
Thing is real and not for show
I no longer am wasting away
Deteriorated by your fire like
Qualities that kept me close
And pushed me away
I'm moving on
Leaving it here today
By my grave this is the last
Time you'll see me
For the rest of your life and when
You realize that this was your fault
My ghost will bring you back
And show you how much I cared
So the guilt will linger on your lips
Like those lies you told to me

    Sounds kind of like a song. It may appeal to the masses, but it doesn't really appeal to me. The last line I think made it less--what should i say--potent. I thin kit is because the last line sounded kind of generic. The rest of the poem is good though.

    Wow, Guilt has so much depth and soul. It creates quite a image in your mind that you can't get rid of, even if you tryed. (Not saying i want too, haha.) That poem was very much worthwhile. I loved reading it, and i hope to read all of your work.
