Guilt

Christina8

I think of what I should've done

and what I meant to tell you.

I cringe when I think about

all the things I wanted to do.

 

Guilt keeps me up at night

judging and haunting my soul.

Telling me what should've been.

Taking until I don't feel whole.

 

But I never met your expectations.

So, how do I get away from this guilt?

I am held in shackles as its prisoner.

Oddly, it's a prison that I built.
