Stages of Guilt

Stages of Guilt

Dear Friend

Where are you?

Where’s our promise?

You broke it

You left me!

Why..

Dear Friend

Was it me?

Was it what I said?

Did I cause this?

Cause your skin to pale

Cause your breath to stop?

Could I have saved you?

I would have if I knew!

Why didn’t you tell me.

It’s my fault

It’s my fault!

Why did you go?

She didn’t deserve this!

She was so strong!

I can’t believe I broke her.

It’s my fault..

Dear Friend

Can I do it?

Nobody else is here to stop me

But she’d be hurt

But she isn’t here

But she’d be disappointed!

But.. She isn’t here..

Should I be?

Should I really?

An eye for an eye

It fits perfectly!

You took your life

For me

So can I take mine

For you?

Dear Friend

Why did you go?

You were clean for so long!

But.. were you really?

Were you lying and covering the scars?

While behind my back you were making more?

Dear Friend...

I’ve lived long enough..

I don’t think I need to be here anymore..

So bury me with my letters.

I’m on my deathbed

74 years later.

And on my way to see you..

Dear friend..

I’m sorry.
