#1 of Poetry

This poem is about facing regret of a horrible decision and realizing that the mistake that hurt tons of people can't be repaired, and dealing with the consequences of one's actions. One of my more depressing poems.

The feeling inside me   
Has gone and defied me   
I cannot feel the pain   
I feel the desire   
The need will conspire   
I have nothing to gain

There is nothing to say   
So get out of my way   
I am going insane   
They will flee at the sight   
The taste of my delight   
The bullet hits my brain

The want or the need   
I can't help but feed   
I am the only one they need to maim   
There's nothing to save   
The lives that they crave   
No one should ever learn my name

I know I'm too late   
I can feel their hate   
I can certainly feel my shame   
The people they cry   
The fall and they die   
I have only myself to blame

The spirits that haunt   
Their desires and want   
The worst that exists of all   
The bells of doom chime   
The enemy is time   
Of which my release they call

Memories referred   
The voices I have heard   
They enjoy watching me crawl   
The horror of death   
I have felt my last breath   
They laugh and watch as I fall

In death it seems I rot   
My tired soul they shot   
Their faces grim and gaunt   
My soul been taken well   
Spread through corners of hell   
Just give them what they want

The deeds done forever   
Stained on those whichever   
Those crying non-chalant   
The shadows up above   
The chiming bell which of   
These ravaged streets I haunt.
