Guilt

Author: Samia Mudasser

That one decision and a destiny so agonised

The consequences of which I never realised;

Of foolish passions and a foolish pride

Brought me only a ruined stride

That ruined stride, the fate of my life

Turned out to be the burden of my life

Alas! I tried to make it strong

With foolish hopes of love and compromise

Knowing not that it will bring only despise

And now the entire collage of love and compromise which I once so proudly built

Is but a guilt that will always be expected to realise

And will i be only a slave to it?

Is the only question that will remain alive
