I wish to say I’m sorry,
For everything and for nothing;
For the love I didn’t give you and
For the mistrust I must have imbedded
In your heart.

With each passing day it gnaws at me;
Chewing at my conscience and
Ripping at my soul with acid glazed claws;
Liar,
Cheater,
Heartbreaker,
Sinner, it calls me and digs its claws in deeper.

I want to scream in agony and
Deny all that it accuses;
Deny everything;
And yet I know that it, Guilt,
Is so horribly correct.

Everything I say,
Do,
Feel,
Believe,
Is one lie, followed by the next;
How do I apologize
For my entire life?
