this is the darkened room in which i lie,
accompanied by regret of times gone by.

of moments lost and chances now expired.
of a wearied soul and a heart, so hollow and tired.

the poisoned needles of regret prick at my skin,
its malevolent liquid fire to seep within.

like spider-webbing seep throughout my veins;
encircling, intensifying the smallest of my pains.

entreaties for forgiveness are swallowed by the black.
mournful, desperate pleas for a chance of turning back.

never a moments reprieve or merciful word.
for never before was such torture so justly deserved.

the faces that shadow my vision comfort me not,
a bitter taste of something much rather forgot.

their touch burns though not with tongues of flame,
but steely, unyielding ice that scars me all the same.

in all the gloom i see but one solitary light.
a single flicker of something, an inspiration to fight.

flickering and dying, but existent still,
a fresh source of hope from which i take my fill.

i feel its presence waver in my heart,
a tentative glimmer i fear shall soon depart.

i do not wish to forget my sin,
or lessen the burden i bear within.

my hope is not of a respite from pain,
but that evils shall never occur again.

so here i end... forever to lie,
haunted by times gone by.

but given peace by the good i do,
in preventing myself from hurting you.
 
We cant change the suffering we have inflicted but we can forgive ourselves and be here now.

This poem was awesome I could feel your heart being torn by the sin you have committed yet I can feel your deep regret and the pain your feeling from realizing the suffering caused by your actions. Suffering teaches the toughest lessons learn from everything remember memories are but a corpse of the present.
 
thank you! i was a little nervous about it..
but i do like the way you put the ending of your reply: "remember memories are but a corpse of the present." it's very well written and relatable. i would have to say in my life, my memories are the only thing keeping me alive today, because i know what i've done, i know how heartless i was before and i don't want to be like that person anymore. i'm not that person anymore. i'm proud. truly proud.. and i can't find that in any other "form".

but thank you very much for your response.
