Tower's Fall

Barefooted, I took my steps
Tried to escape but never did.
Deafening curses echoed in silence,
Conscience was my opponent.

Alone in this battlefield,
I am defeated.

Jailed in this room of own guilt,
Embracing the coldness of regrets
Where only abandoned memories
Of an innocent child laid asleep
Were left to reminisce.

How would I be punished?
When I longed for true justice,
When forgiveness couldn't find it's rhythm.

I am, again, defeated.

Guilt truly feels like a jail. You can't escape if you can't forgive yourself or admit what you did.
