Guilt Trip

Guilt Trip

A Poem by Indra's Child

You've been there,
In the back of my mind
That place I avoid like a virus
You've set up shop, and I've ignored it
Self-preservation in the slightest

And I've, waited for death
A million seconds away, it seems
I can't get a hold of myself
Now and I've lost it all
To you

It's not something that can be
Simply put,
I've always had to be
On the lookout
Yeah I'd like to think it's
'Cause I couldn't relate
But I can now, to everyone around,
I know it sounds like it's too late,
Just hear me out, yeah?

I've waited for life,
A billion little moments, it seems
I just can't let go of my past
And now I've lost my future
To you

Yeah you were there when I was
Only thirteen
Wasn't my fault,
But I let it sting
Psychotic complex I've paved
Over everything
And I know it seems that I'm okay,
Just beneath my smile, I'm burning away
Dying like

I've waited for you,
A trillion confabulations, and
Mistakes, I can't shake the fact
I can't take back what I've done
'Cause of

You made me Impervious,
I'd murder shamelessly, and
I can't live all the years I've lost
To you

Long term, deep hurt. I felt it in your lines, and you expressed that pain well.
