Guilt

I feel a stab of guilt
Deep in my heart
The pain seeps through my core
Like poison

The agony incapacitates me
I crumble
All that I can do
Is regret

I have failed
I have failed you
I have wronged you

O Brother
Forgive me
For I have taken you for granted
Though an apology
Does not suffice
An apology
You deserve still

O Brother
I thank you
For are kind and gentle
Though words
Do not suffice
Appreciation
You deserve still

Through all these years
You have stood by me
Now
I stand by you

Though I am powerless
I stand by you
'Til the end.
