Remorse (Regret)
I thought if I closed my eyes,
As I burned you.
I wouldn’t have to listen,
And hear you
Scream.
I understand now how that makes no sense,
My eyes and ears aren’t connected.
But I thought it worked,
For just a
Moment.
I didn’t hear anything,
But I felt you flinch against me.
Not fighting back,
Rather you were
Taking.
It wasn’t until I peeked through my eyelashes,
And looked at you.
I realized you it wasn’t my closed eyes,
You just weren’t
Screaming.
As I burned you.
I wouldn’t have to listen,
And hear you
Scream.
I understand now how that makes no sense,
My eyes and ears aren’t connected.
But I thought it worked,
For just a
Moment.
I didn’t hear anything,
But I felt you flinch against me.
Not fighting back,
Rather you were
Taking.
It wasn’t until I peeked through my eyelashes,
And looked at you.
I realized you it wasn’t my closed eyes,
You just weren’t
Screaming.
