There Is Only Guilt

There Is Only Guilt

A Poem by realmwriter

 The pain is as real as the blade and it can only diminish as the anguish fades. 
On the inside there is nothing that can be done to make it go away except to give in to it in hopes that one day it will disappear. 
 
 I commend the my pain to hollowed ground and just as the flame carries away my sorrow so too does the earth bury my body for in it my pain lays. 
In death we are released from this heap of bone and flesh. But only God knows what lay in store for the soul born captive by this heap of flesh and bone.

 Cry me no more my bone against the marrow, let the pain drain from my veins just as water falls from the sky.
Unearth my lament and torture me no more for I have died and cannot hurt the anymore.
This my flesh I give unto you that you do nothing that I cannot do. 

 For in my time I have stayed these plagues to steal the heart away from this that is temptation. 
I cannot rest upon this blade drawn out vapor thin, until the time that such is due I give the payment unto you. 

 In the end I fear my pain will only be magnified ten fold for what is done cannot be UN rung and what has not been done upon my death cannot my mind be changed.
So for in the time that have I left upon this soil of dire duress, I will spend it wise to mask the devil of his due.

I loved this. The flow, the ease, at which you lured me inside and kept me there, in this mind where my body is but a vessel, a shell if you must, and to where the phrase; "Dust to dust." came to mind. Unearthly.
Great job.

This is really deep , dark as well but there is a message here UN rung seems to speak of a social conscience. The third paragraph really so descriptive striking. Great write flows so well and word choice perfect.

Hats off to you my friend, such a marvelous piece of writing here. No fear, but facing truth. I adore that. I can relate. " Cry me no more my bone against the marrow, let the pain drain from my veins just as water falls from the sky." Was for me so recognizable. Amazing job! in each and every line!

Thank You Very Much!
I took away the image of someone sharping a knife, no particular kind of person. Just one one moving the blade up and down the flint.
