Anguish

where have i failed?
this long march, and blood on my hands
rivers of regret
tag-teaming my mind
overwhelming in their anger

where have i failed?
failed myself, forming thoughts of lifeless languor
i'm falling

where have i failed?
time and tide against me
and all the marches of man and master
i must go on
through each moment
restless

but where did i go wrong?
sitting alone for so long
have i forgotten how to cry?
has this anger at the past consumed me,
left me a husk of tears unshed
that is how i feel

where have i failed?
my honey words desert me,
tears cannot fall
but my mind screams
where did i go wrong?
