A lifetime of sorrow

Self-destruction\'s heavy weight 

Crushes the soul, a devasting fate 

Past mistakes linger, impossible to undo 

A shattered heart, with each shard, pierces anew

 

Guilt\'s burden drags me down 

Into the depth of a river, with no turning around

A heart once full, now still and grey 

Tears fall, but can\'t mend the shatter away

 

Lost dreams and haunting thoughts remain 

A constant reminder of the pain I\'ve gained

A lifetime of sorrow, my deserved fate

Regret\'s ache, a punishment that\'s simply too late
