I bolted away from the guilt that was clinging to me.
I paid for the crimes that I never did.
Existing in this world like a wordless mime,
Cringing even to the pleasant sound of wind chimes
An evil that lies beneath embarked unknown ties;
Forgotten dreams came to haunt me.
Lingering in my serene mind,
Staggering on emotional landmines.
Driving me insane,
Watching for hopeful signs.
In the end, the indomitable spirit faded in a bottle of wine.
