Crushing Guilt

 Like a snake he slithered

Unseen he follows me around

Like darkness I can feel him creeping 

His weight, a constant presence

His beady eyes staring, judging from behind my back


He listens in on all my conversations 

Never uttering a single word

But i feel him getting heavier

As I turn to you and flirt

He weighs a ton now

And I keep dragging him around


Everytime I meet you

I returned even more slouched

Unable ro shoulder the unbearable weight

I began looking for ways to run and hide

Knowing soon I need to cut him off but that means 

I couldn't find my way back to you


Loss between the object of my desire

And the compass that guides my soul

I remained... unable to step in either direction 

Trapped, the serpent tighten its coil around me

The force of it continues to crush me 

Now, I can barely breathe


So I cut it off 

Stabbed a knife in it and twisted savagely

Yelped in shock as the pain froze me

I didnt realise how deep it has ingratiate itself in me

But i continue digging in and carving out every single piece 

Flesh, bone, capillaries and all

Consumed by agony
