What Is Guilt? Poem by Jara Son of Ahaz

What is guilt?
Is it knowing your shortcomings?
When you were wrong and cannot take it back
People look at you as a saint
You know you’re not
You gave all for her
Did I?
Is guilt knowing you cannot be forgiven?
Despair, defeat
Is giving up the answer to guilt?
When the pain in your mind is consuming
Wanting to say your sorry
To be forgiven
But she is gone
Not a call away
But in God’s arms
You long to see her again
But does she want to see you?
What is guilt?
Perhaps it’s a taste of hell.
