GUILT

GUILT

By TRIXSTER

Wild unrelenting doom

Sears numerous scars,

With its scythe of

Flaming malice,

Upon open wounds

Of a tortured soul.

Liquid tears of carnage

Shriek a melody

Of condemning horror.

As agonizing pain

Chokes the simple breath

Like knives

Pricking dead flesh

Ever so sweetly.

Traces of hope

Stifled by savage smoke

That came from

Cleaved eyes.

And eternal despair

Is bestowed upon

A crumbling peace.
