Guilt - by Noctuary
return to Noctuary's poetry index
Haunted by the shame I feel
To still be alive
To have survived
I ate my heart to get away
To get away from yours
There is nothing left to take
Just leave me with my pain
My avoidance
Fighting dogs circling each other
As long as they leave me out
You can round me up if you want
Pull my shattered self off the floor
I will
I move
I hide the evidence of me
Some awful crime I try to fuck away
And just when you think you’ve won
Just when you think you’ve saved me
I will smash myself again
