• My mind echoes in wake and sleep,
    Saying it is all my fault-
    Everything that ever happened to me.
    Run.
    Why did I not run?
    Hide.
    I listened when he said to lie.

    Coaxed into this darkness,
    It is my own fault.
    No, I do not have a witness.
    Time.
    Jail me for wasting time.
    Chains.
    Chain me up inside.

    I could have escaped.
    I could have screamed.
    No, I just lay still in my grave.
    Guilt.
    Everyday my skeletons scare me.
    Regret.
    Regret for knowing it is my fault.
