FL 1

Would that my mind's eye were blind!
I can still see her tear streaked face.
My head hard against a corner, no amount
of Blood can erase the memory of her pain.

Wise posturing, spear's point sharpened
and Poison tipped unknowingly yet responsibility
Remains a ribbed arrow burrowing into my heart.
With worthless words and petty sorrow I seek

to Expunge myself of guilt's painful parasites.
Oh ye Furies whip me raw! Reduce me to
a Quivering pile of flesh, maggot meat, no less!

Ha! You are cruel and knowing! No respite,
Huis Clos! Ou est le bourreau!
He is here inside, my knowing self, my life!

I have read that Hell is judgement on the self...

If that is so, you describe it well.

thanks for the think

echoing the above, she is right and this literally left me speechless for the blood on my own hands cannot even begin to tint your own.
