The guilt I feel grows with every breath I take making my stomach sick wanting to stop the pain and stop my breath but knowing cowardice is worse worse than the sting of my betrayal fresh and raw like the lick of a whip The shame of my selfish night bears down on me but i am weak too weak to carry this weight too weak to put down the glass and walk away The tears I cry fill my hollow heart my soul left empty and alone searching for relief from this unbearable pain Screaming foolish I'm sorrys into the wind their cold uslessness a harsh reminder as they are blown back at me The sound of your haunted weeping carried on the wind cuts my soul and shatters my world As your pain becomes mine i lose my name not deserving it's purity liar and fake above my acts Alone and lost I wander this world nameless and full of shame hoping to disappear to change the past looking for myself picking up the shattered remnants as i go The girl I once knew is gone her lies exposed, never to return a broken soul left in her place crushed by her own choices Only after the one I love is whole again can i forgive myself maybe then i will heal and this wound will close leaving a scar, deep and red an eternal reminder of my weakness |

Welcome to Passions. I love your screen name and pray that's truer than the last stanza of your post. That indicates that you can not forgive yourself until one you love is whole again. It's amazing that God's love for us is unconditional, based only on Who and What He is rather than on our merit. God bless Rae |

Hi loved, your poem reminds me of me and the many times I have felt that way. It was truly a reminder of how the soul gets tired sometimes. just keep the faith and fly knowing that god will always pick you up when you are feeling weak. It was nice. |

So many awesome lines to make this soooo real for the reader...Much pain in this write..  But this part really got me--I pictured a child crying...."The sound of your haunted weeping carried on the wind cuts my soul and shatters my world" Thanks for sharing..great writing (and hopefully great sifting for the soul!) hugs, g PS..really awesome title too!

I don't know if it was you who was hurt or if you hurt somebody, but I pray that you stop beating yourself up for it, because by beating yourself up, you are making your recovery process worse and longer. I pray for healing, release, forgiveness and peace for you. May God guide you gently and carry you through the storms that may come. Sheri Adams Jesus lives in my heart! He can in yours too!!! |
