Remorse
The remorse is furiously ravaging
torment passes through my mind as I lay awake at night
gathered in my guilt are the acts I have carried out
yet I love what I did but my emotions are raw
pleasured moments have led to my downfall
This grief of my soul has edged away in times of lewdness
This guilt i speak of is in me but i learn to control it
I want to be punished but I still want my life
releasing this pain will only end my life, is it pain i deserve
I have so much goodness in me but this dreaded curse I have just will not dissolve
I am a human of many sides taken in by beauty and feckless towards one's feelings
I observe then seek my capabilities in such twisted rage
grant me a way through to be better.. But don't forgive me
I want to be so much yet I am cornered,trapped by my life's choices
I could have been so much,doubting even my forgiveness would make me feel happy
I hunger for a new start of a different life other than my own
I wish to be someone else now, i wanted to change once
taking the moment to understand why..why me..why them
I have so much emotion that my eyes stay open at night
maybe what I'm looking for is the night to end and my eyes to close
