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

Regret precedes guilt. This poem well written and rhymed flows smoothly. The message all too well known echoes int the hearts of many. Nicely done
Making mistakes is human. But the most surprising thing is that even rich life experience sometimes does not help to avoid them.
Reflection on mistakes made and the sense of guilt that follows, enjoyed the read
