The Secret Life of Guilt
Commitment hides in the background fighting to cross the finish line
While nothing seems to get easier to decipher with time
Because sadness roams around the perimeter of the truth
The past has not spoken but the future knows not how to move
The present remains disengaged by a failure to turn life's fragile pages
This story is imperfectly written full of passages of internal conflicts masked by rage
A heart is torn into pieces resting on an emotionally empty stage
For a love was lost being taken for granted and now a faded picture remains
But no one can move forward because of guilt's irremovable stain
