guilt with the thickness of molasses

gets harder to swallow every moment that passes

and although it is often wrapped in a lovely package

one cant ignore and must stop the acting

that its taste is easy to bear

because its flavor will easily wear

you down in hopes that youll spit it out

at this point youd rather it be sauerkraut

or even black licorice...

anything but this

because its rancid taste makes you so pissed

and theres nothing that you can do

to rid the guilt engulfing you

like gretel you've been thrown into the stew

and your emotions are left to brew

but dont add salt because the wound wont heal

you think that it might make you feel

better about whats cooking inside

but the pot is empty and guilt still resides

your exposed and theres no point to hide

it seems that this will never subside.
