Creators Guilt

I cannot recall the way the air tasted that day,
A suffocating reality that twists through my veins.
 
I cannot recall the way it smelled,
So long ago the night looks almost like day.
 
I’m supposed to remember.
 
To sit in my shame and guilt.
 
 
But I cannot remember,
I cannot recall.
 
I’m supposed to hurt,
That’s how I know it meant something;
 
But I can only tip my head back,
And swallow.
 
Forgive me;
I cannot be sorry.
 
Alone again, at least until the fall,
A farewell blurred by the rushing wind.
 
I’m sorry;
At least I should be.
 
What monster has taken over my mind?
 
I deserve to be hurt.
 
 
Why can’t I recall the wounds,
yet I can feel the scars?
 
My words are worthless;
 
Perhaps I am too.
 
 
I cannot recall how I made it hurt,
I just know it won’t stop.
 
 
I’m sorry.
 
To be sorry.
 
To be true.
 
To hurt.
 
To be hurt.
 
To be alone.
 
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.

 
 
 
 
I tried to be.
