Last Words

Every night

He suffered

He wept

And fell to his knees

It had been the only truth

He had known and now

It had been

Ripped from his soul

He begged and pleaded to himself

For forgiveness

But he never did forgive himself

And as long as his soul dwells in this universe

He never shall

“Funny” he had said to me

Before he died

“It was guilt

It was guilt,

That led me into sainthood”
