Regret
Sick to my stomach
What did I do it for
Mom told me no
Should I tell or
Run
My own guilt
Far greater punishment
Than any spanking
Regret
My choice is taken from me
“Devin, come here”
I slink down the stairs like a dog
With its tail between its leg
A sense of impending doom
Follows like my shadow
Cower
The disappointment in her eyes
Is coarse salt
Rubbed in the wound
Inflicted by my own
Unheeding hand
Pain
I can’t hold it in any longer
Her eyes soften and the before
Unnoticed love
Shines through like
A ray of sunlight
Redemption
