I remember that look upon her face,
Held in my circuitous memory,
Sliding under my car after she fell
From her bike, her life gone without a trace.
This deep dark secret was my enemy
And guilt had become my personal hell.

So was it when my life began to fade.
Cancerous carnivores consume my body
As I lay broken in my bedroom cell.
Now let death be the full price I've paid.
Don't tell.

wow

This certainly stirs the emotions. It's so dark and twisty. You are really painting a grim picture with words here. Good job, buddy.

I think you meant: And guilt became my personal hell.
