Another murky night has come
You are Thrashing your arms
Flailing about here and there
Still and all, You are drowning.

You try to make it out
Yet You are being pulled back
Guilt has You in its cold embrace,
Grief Your only companion.

You smell like the dead
You are carrying corpses
Of every soul You have killed
Of every smile you've stolen.

Blood has gone into Your lungs
Guilt has hardened its grip
Life grips You with a strong clasp
And drags You through Your own miserable existence.
