RROLANDO :
I wrote and poem using the first line you wrote The Guilt Leaves a Deeper Cut
The guilt leaves a deeper cut than I made before,
It hides in my chest, it scratches the core.
No blood this time, no crimson to see,
Just a quiet war that’s killing me.
It stings when I smile, it aches when I breathe,
A shadow I birthed that will never leave.
It speaks in echoes, it hums in my skin,
A punishment born from the things within.
The guilt leaves a deeper cut I can’t outrun,
The mirror flinches — it knows what I’ve done.
It stares me down with a hollow glare,
And I see my shame still standing there.
I trace the scars and whisper, “sorry,”
The word feels fragile, bent, and blurry.
Forgiveness drifts like a distant shore,
And the guilt cuts deeper than it did before.
