Regret

Once again , walking on a path of 
nothingness,
The cold of the night greets me, the 
pouring rain reflecting my despair,
I stumble along the path, dreading to turn 
my back,
Even the smallest of joyful memories turn 
pitch black,

The sands of time continue to flow 
through the hour glass,
So much truth to say, fearing which 
moment will be my last,
Weeks pass , and i continue to protect my 
secrets with lies,
Boundaries of my heart have been 
violated, not once but twice,

From within the depths of my soul, my sins still 
echo,
Screaming and demanding that i step out 
from the shadows,
Cowardice etched into every cell of my 
being,
So i continue my walk, unable to fathom 
the devastation i may cause,
In the distance , faintly hearing the devil's 
applause.
