Your guilt, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your shame, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

A shadow that follows, everywhere.

A heart that's lost, in the rain.

About Someone

Guilty Thoughts

Your guilt, a heavy burden to bear,
In your heart, it lingers there.
Every thought, a troubled stream,
In your mind, no peaceful dream.
Hoping you find peace one day,
And let your guilt fade away.
Thank you for the lessons taught,
In your struggles, wisdom sought.

About Someone

Remorseful Soul

Your guilt, a weight so great,
In your heart, a troubled state.
Every action, a shadow cast,
In your mind, echoes of the past.
Hoping you find peace of mind,
And leave your guilt far behind.
Thank you for the lessons learned,
In your struggles, strength is earned.

About Someone

Shadowed Conscience

In the shadows of your eyes,
Lies a thousand silent cries.
Each secret held, each truth denied,
Reflects a heart, in guilt confined.
Your guilt, a heavy weight,
Turns joy to sorrow's state.
With every lie, every sin,
You fight the battles within.
In your struggle, I see pain,
A soul seeking to reclaim.
Forever guilty, forever torn,
In your heart, hope is born.
