Conscience rolls my soul in broken glass,
then salts my wounds out of spite.
Sinking into a guilty morass,
this pain is wicked delight.

White-hot needles drive into my brain,
scorching my conscience with fear.
Desperately I try to go insane,
as consequences draw near.

Snakes of jealousy roil in my gut,
crawling much deeper inside .
Every tie to this life I have cut,
even those I view with pride.

Guilt makes molten metal of my bones,
slowly cremating my soul.
Not even death for my sin atones,
for guilt is what makes me whole.

I am at a loss for words...The last two lines 'Not even death for my sin atones,
for guilt is what makes me whole.' Just made me go WOW, cause that is so...true! I am still at a loss for words here, but this is excellent!

I could not love except where Death
Was mingling his with Beauty's breath -
Or Hymen, Time, and Destiny
Were stalking between her and me.
