Distant Memory

Folder: 
07. Painful Sighs

So much found out
in the space of a few minutes.
My heart feels cold,
it feels empty.
I can’t see the reason why
people love me,
people put up with me.
Can’t they see all I will do
is hurt them?
I can count each and every one.
I see them as images
ever-present in my mind.
I hate myself
for hurting those I love,
I cherish,
I care for deeply.
Why must it be like this?
Now all I have
are the words I write,
the pain that aches
within my soul,
and the empty hope
of forgiveness.
The tears course down
a face etched with
years of pain.
Broken dreams
echo through eyes
as black as night.
My soul has shattered,
my mind turned to ice.
I’ve lost my chance.
It’s all just
a distant memory.
