Guilty Conscience.

Shush, can you keep a secret?
Because I've got a big one to tell.
Here it goes, let's start from the beginning.
Life's perfect, couldn't ask for anything better then this.
But there's one little thing, regret.

Regret for all I've done.
It follows me like a shadow,
creeps up behind me in the dark.
Pops up in my nightmares,
scares me awake or asleep.

This regret won't go away,
no matter what I do, how hard I try.
Regret will forever follow me until the day I die.
It's eating away at my heart each and everyday.
Until there's nothing left.
It's a black hole in my chest that I must walk around with each passing day.

I've tried, and tried.
But nothing works, it just won't go away.
I've cried so many tears, yet it only gets worst.
I've tried self pain, and it doesn't seem to help at all.
Maybe I just haven't caused enough harm to myself,
just as I did those who I've hurt.

I'm going to hell, my fate's been set in stone.
No going back, no second chances for this criminal.
My destiny is set, hell it is.
But not even hell can amount to the scars I've left on peoples souls.

I'll live my life, with the heavy weight of regret on my shoulders.
Even though I rather have it end.
I'll wait to see if this regret ever leaves my soul,
or if my real punishment is truly awaiting me.

I love this topic and this situation. I relieve this self pressure however by observing the insanity and stupidity of others..... And then I realize my fate isn't so bad in comparison. :0)
