When it snows, bones ache like the pressure will break them again. As stress rises so does the pain of every purchase. Unproductive moments scream like sin, idle hands spike with carpal tunnel. Broken promises hollow you out completely, heartless. Residual guilt floods, until there’s no recourse left, except to rupture.

I've been having massive fights with capitalization, punctuation, and line breaks lately. This may be done, or I may cut it to ribbons. Also no idea if it has a home in a project yet. Anyway, enjoy and best wishes 🤗

#ResidualGuilt

Reverberations of residual guilt
Echo inside the cavern
Once heartless and barren
Where my mind had built
A fortress, walls and a moat
Where the refuse would float
Now ruins filled with the silt
Of regret and remorse
The guilt still runs its course

One cloud passed to
A flash of guilt, residual
Built into a natural
Backlog, a dense fog
Tilts this side of the self
Forgiveness risen and
Carried forever, buried
Whenever the light finds
It’s passed, the cloud
Moves on, still the
Memory lasts

Residual guilt
Bedding in like a splinter
Ready to fester.

You could almost see
And hear the chains following,
Residual guilt.
