Guilt

Knots
Writhing
Crawling
Stomach churns
Skin prickles
Eyes cast down

Guilty conscience
Itches
Ever-present
Ages old
Fresh-cut new
Eating away

Reasoning?
Disappears
Mind tumbles
Words jumble
Thoughts muddle
Fingers twitch

Dreams? Nightmares
Sorry
So sorry
Gnawing
Heartbeat
Racing
Shaking
Breaking
Resolve
To say I'm wrong

Guilt
The sound
Adrenaline
Rush
Empty silence
Heavy breathing

Green and dark
Not envy
Bad
So small
So low
Inhuman
Regret

Feeling as though
They will never forgive
What they don't know
Won't hurt them
But what I know
Haunts, blackmails
Hollows
Buried beneath
Guilt.
