Poem -
LINGER...
Fragments of it still linger
You try to move past it
TheĀ air though moves
Quicker...
It becomes your life force,
feeds you
Nurtures you, even as it
BleedsĀ you...
Some things never clear, they
thicken in the breath, hang
around, taunt you, curse at
you, jeer...
There's no escape, you
Prescibed your own fate
Ordered it, paid, chose
The time and the date...
You can't give it back, nobody
owns it but you
It sticks to the soul with
A fetid black glue
Guilt...

Wonderful comparisons and personification! Guilt eats you up, and sadly, is a great cause of suicide. Just want to say its not always your fault! Some people blame themselves for things that would have happened regardless.Ā
