Mistakes

Curse you Past for staining my memories
For it is you that brings me down
Why must you haunt me?
Must I always live in regret of the past?
Things I have done
The things that incite shame within
Must I always live with your admonishment?
By day my life distracts
By night my dreams remind
Haunting images of transgressions past
Of the hurt I have caused
Why won't you let me be?
What is it that you want from me O Past?
That you would constantly remind me of my shame?
That you would seek to dishonor me even now?
"You can't be forgiven, you won't be forgiven" you shout at me.
Shall I recognize your screams and suffer remembrance?
"Monster, Your life is but a facade to me" you declare
Why must your cruel hand reach my heart
And grasp it with the icy coldness of the hurt I have wrought?
You rear your ugly head in remembrance of my sins.
You transcend time itself to haunt me,
How will I ever surmount the mistakes I have made...
The hurt I have caused?
I can not make the choice this day to forgive myself.
Suffering remembrance, forgiveness isn't merited.
Not an option, Not a choice, Forevermore.

Tears Come

Tears please come.

The heart beckons you. By night's solace, by day's solitude, and thought's reminiscence a sorrowful dirge resounds from the hollows of the atrium of where she once resided. Thus misery’s words lacerate my lamentations upon this fractured heart, inscribed upon a heart whose tell tale beat accompanies the symphony of your sorrow…resonating upon the eternal streams that shan't come upon these dry eyes.

Tears come.

So that misery's sorrow may be expunged from the darkness that enshrouds this sorrowful heart, for it's lamentable existence seeks death's cold embrace. Frozen forever still, longing to beat no more.

Oh tears!

Grace this bed-ridden heart with your healing waters. Hasten your presence into the soul of this forsaken spirit, for as the waterfall crashes violently for a time it rests in a soothing pool, stoic and serene at its rest, as is this heart. In violence and turmoil it is crashing awaiting its stoic serenity, yet it never comes.

Tears please come.

Questions

In the fray of sorrow, there is naught but pain.
Death, or so it seems, is the only release.
