Death Sentence

Warmth and light ahead

Darkness and cold behind

I find myself turning my back against the former

to be speared by frigid fingers

For choice was taken from me

that fateful day years ago

with a thoughtless action

It sealed my fate.

As my feet carried me

as I trudged onto the dreaded path

The pain of death filled me

Haunting memory assailed me

guilt and regret so overwhelming

and I thought…

What if…

What if I had never turned away

What if I had cared

What if I had confronted

instead of running away

Those what ifs were slowly buried

by the dust of time

becoming wistful if onlys

and thoughts of what could've been

Perhaps fate would not be so cruel

Perhaps everything would be much better

Perhaps all could be different

and suffering be never

But Realisation has proven

much too late

So now unto my death

I was, am and will be

doomed to bear

this burden of pain

as punishment

For all that I did

For all the pain I caused

For this…

Repentance be never an option

Acceptance mine never be

Love of my kin fornever felt

Pain of memories' remembrance be eternal

Even as life giving blood spill out of me in torrents

My smile must never crack under the strain of sorrow

As acting has been the destiny of my life

so I let others' dislike pour unto me

Yet powerless to correct their views on me

And tears never to be shed

For deserve to cry I never did..
