Forgotten Words

My words have left me/
planting seeds that will grow into regret.

I have taken my destiny/
Walking hand in hand with a door and key &
failing to introduce them

The world is so familiar/
I feel so alien.

Thoughts married to actions

Where standing alone doesn't
seem too bad/
You follow/
Led by the words of ignorance/
Is ignorance bliss?

Wake up he says/
Also the thought in my head/
I wish i was dreaming ignorance.

Focus/

Tonight's the night/
Glory beckons and the fear lifts me off my feet.

In a state of trance
i catch a glimpse of a broken piece of glass/
who was that?

Actions become bolder

where you think about tomorrow
contemplating your moments breath/
You choke.

get ready he says/
Also the thought in my head/
Searching for the strength to endure.

.....
Actions married to thoughts

Where standing alone means standing alone/
Held by guilt/ Surrounded by remorse-

what have i done?
the only thought in my head
like a splinter that cant be pulled

forgive me.

Who hoo, I have this one deep

Who hoo, I have this one deep dark regret I will Never forgive or forget and there aren't enough prayers to console me but this is so close in someways to how it feels and your splinter is akin to my one deep barb lodged in the base of my heart forever bleeding and scabbing over... I great read a great poem well done! I especially loved the last line as you can tell :)
