Remorse
One day later
My ego is protected
All the pain deflected
From the hurt you caused
An eye for an eye; zero pause
You cut my tongue; I take your eyes
Count and pray on my demise
Until I rise like an eagle
Up to heaven; the angel of evil
Hurting more
One week later
My eye bawls blood
Soaked my hands, skin scrub
But the mark will never fade
The sinner's brand; you claimed
Demons stalk me at midnight
Till dusk to dawn is a fight
Curses etched on my wall
The thorns start to crawl
Hurting more
One month later
Thorns crowning and piercing through
Penance; the karmic coup
No justice has been made
But baptised; in blood I bathed
New face; new name
Old sins; same game
The same inner war
Same man, hurting more
Hurting more
One year later
I'm soaked head to toe
Facing the red soaked path below
Towards a future clouded by guilt
From the monster I had built
Hurting more
Hurting forevermore
