Guilt
Troubles have lasted
throughout my life,
and sometimes I
can't sleep at night.
Though maybe that's
the source for me...
to feel the bad
in order to see!
I still but wonder
what might have been,
if I had listened
to Mother then?
Though...what "is", is now
and I can't show
these feelings that
I ought to know.
I'm lost inside
a world of fears...
but when I look
they disappear!
When eyes are closed,
they stir about...
what is this world
my mind seeks out?
Why does this world
torment me so?
The guilt that refuses
to let me go!
throughout my life,
and sometimes I
can't sleep at night.
Though maybe that's
the source for me...
to feel the bad
in order to see!
I still but wonder
what might have been,
if I had listened
to Mother then?
Though...what "is", is now
and I can't show
these feelings that
I ought to know.
I'm lost inside
a world of fears...
but when I look
they disappear!
When eyes are closed,
they stir about...
what is this world
my mind seeks out?
Why does this world
torment me so?
The guilt that refuses
to let me go!
