I can only heal
if I take the blame.
I can only feel
if I burn in the flames.
Being sorry doesn’t help.
I apologize for; I regret
all that I did and
everything I said.
Shadows grow longer
as time takes its toll.
My will – no stronger.
I’m numb to the world.
Until I feel a pain
that lasts and lasts.
As I slowly burn in
the pyres of the past.
