No Title, Yet - 49

Although there are things in life that are much worse, I do feel ashamed for what I have done. The guilt that I have carried around for years like a curse Is something that I knew, in the end, I couldn't outrun. Not a day goes by that I don't think about the past, Wishing that I could go back and change what was to come. I know that the shadow of hurt that I have cast May never see the light of forgiveness by some. Although I haven't kept in touch, you're always on my mind, And I wish that I could get back the years that we've lost. Forgiveness for the pain that I've caused is what I hope to find. I never thought that my mistakes would come at such a cost. For years, I have wanted to find a way to make amends, But my pride and lack of courage have gotten in the way. This is my 'message in a bottle' that I wish to send. I truly hope that it finds its way to your heart, one day.
