of your heart and mind,
but you must push on.
To do less would merely feed
the guilt inside.
Trust, that which you needed,
is given, but you betray.
You cannot stop yourself,
for you need to be right,
to succeed.
Or else death
was for nothing.
And guilt floats the recesses
of your heart and mind,
let’s obsession take control,
your arrogance, your ego
override the pain.
You cannot fail.
But it all falls down
like a house of cards,
damaging friendships,
and losing trust;
gaining nothing.
And should the guilt rise
and break you apart,
who will be there for you,
pick up the pieces,
and heal your pain?
Will he,
the friend whose trust you lost,
turn away
or see the truth inside,
reach out
and free you from
the guilt that burns?
For guilt is a powerful force,
and causes you to do
that which you would
not normally do;
apologise;
admit that you were wrong.
