Paenitet

Regret

tear-stained sheets

and beds bitterly made

 

voices whispered deceitfully

spoken sirens lullaby

 

into a slaughter walking

beautiful eyes beckon

 

eagerly lies believed

blinding my  vision

 

flames intensely  felt

from the sole of my foot

to the top of my head

 

none to blame

 

a  reflection

stares with judgement

 

who would hear my cry 

what sympathy could

there be for a devil

none is deserved for a fool

who dances on icy roof tops

 

 my words can’t cover the

cost of this apology

 

hope is for the deserving

mercy for those who show mercy

 

grace shall not be

a  companion tonight

for I am damned already
