Forgiveness Matters Not

A searing moment
A charring flash
And all that was before is gone
Accidents happen
Apologies abound
Never enough to remove the taint
It is not my fault
Yet it is my shame
I bury it deep
For I cannot bear the feel
Of softly spoken words
And the gentle caress of comfort.
My pride and my horror
Of the things I have done
I cannot allow my weakness
To run free
My skin tightens with it
I wonder idly if I will burst
Before I can lock my pain inside
Again.
