Hi readers, this poem has nothing to do with myself. It is a fiction trying to relate what it must feel like to have a guilt with someone or something. Hope you enjoy.
My demon was hungry
When it devoured all I’d built.
It happily used a solid, rusted blade
To clot my blistered guilt.
Guilt for what I didn’t say,
For things I didn’t do.
It left deranged, irrational scars,
Reminding me of you.
This demon left me black,
An empty nothing full of pain,
Pain which exists when I wake
And relive it all again.
And all I own are echoed aches
After my demon fed.
Now, “Defeat” is all I can hear,
Each time I'm in my head.
