My Guilty Secret

Vengeance is mine sayeth the son of guilt and shame. Slay the beast of a thousand burdens, As he lays his final mark Upon your guilty heart. Did you find him, the one of innocence? Did you chain him, beat him, Make him your slave? Dress him up, Parade him around. Your guilty puppet on silver threads. Dead and gone, this hollow son. He won't hurt you anymore. Just take My hand. Please Yoni, just take My hand. ... I can find no peace Please don't leave me, I'll be good I can find no peace I swear I tried as best I could I can find no peace Embrace my heart and don't let go And when our time has truly come We'll join the One we will to Know

I believe there is internal conflict here. I like the mystery in this. Nice choice of words too. Nate

Another compelling and intriguing write from you, Yoni! The image of the "hollow son" as a "guilty puppet on silver threads" is amazing. Like the way you convey the hollowness inside by comparing it to the empty insides of a puppet. There is so much angst in this write; I hope things are OK for you. Love, Carolyn
