[hometext] => It's my fault. Again. I'm so sorry.
[bodytext] => I can't breathe My air is blocked By the words that stick in my throat A knot in my chest An empty pit That threatens to overwhelm me Devour me as it spreads Her words echo through the silence around me Surround me, rearing their heads Leering at me, grins of feral teeth Wrapping around me, Binding my still form Keeping me from running away A sacrifice for the pit that grows within me. His assurances fade with the sun And the faint shield of hope The tired defense against the pit Collapses at last, crumpling into the void I am left with nothing Except my empty soul And the guilt that no anger will relieve It's her fault It's his fault I'm not responsible It's not my fault Don't blame me But the truth is a relentless hunter And I know the next days will be fraught with pain That I cannot escape my mistake That my hope is weak I can no longer struggle I will no longer struggle And I cast myself into the void Praying for the darkness To devour my empty, guilty soul.
