GUILT

Such a deep feeling

But not that of happiness

Not that of loneliness

But that of grief

Grief for the part of myself I killed, that I thought I killed

The part that still persists within me like a parasite

Poisoning me from the inside out with guilt

But how could I kill them a second time

I feel guilty enough for not being able to stop their suffering

But I won't forgive them, all the times they cried in self pity

All the times they yelled and screamed like I was the reason for their suffering

They have no one else to blame for not being capable enough alone

Now I'm here in their place wondering what I'm to do

Finish what they started or live out what their missing

And I'll feel guilty either way.
