In the silence of the night, shadows creep,
A whisper of regret that stirs my sleep.
The echoes of my choices, loud and clear,
Resonate within, igniting fear.
The weight of actions past, a heavy shroud,
In solitude, I face the haunting crowd.
Each misstep a stone upon my soul,
A burden that I struggle to control.
Forgiveness, a distant dream I seek,
Yet the path to peace feels frail and weak.
Redemption calls from beyond the veil,
A light that flickers, though winds assail.
In time, perhaps these chains will break,
And from this guilt, my heart awake.
Until then, I carry this silent plea,
For understanding and serenity.
