The weight of regret presses down on me
A physical ache that's hard to breathe
I'm lost in sorrow, unable to rise
Consumed by the pain of regretful eyes
My own remorse is making me ill
A self-inflicted wound that refuses to heal
The loss of trust, the shattered remains
All because of foolish mistakes and lingering pains
I'm trapped in a cycle of guilt and woes
Longing for forgiveness, but unable to let go
The silence is deafening, a scream in my soul
A cry for redemption, a heart that's lost its goal
I suffer in silence, though it is plain to see
The weight of regret is crushing me
But I still hold on to hope's glimmering light
The chance to make amends, to heal the hurt of night
Til you know you're forgiven, the hurt will remain
A constant reminder of the pain and the shame
But with forgiveness come healing, a new dawn's rise
A chance to start anew, to open tear-stained eyes

Guilt and forgiveness go hand in hand. This poem screams out with pain and a need for self forgiveness. Well imaged and rhymed as well.
A touching and emotional write on how we beat ourselves up over the mistakes we have made, causing ourselves even more pain and pushing ourselves deeper into the black hole, well expressed
