“Guilty!” declares my sinful mind, Its words reflect what burns inside. I have not yet known true loss, Yet treated her as if a cross. I'm sinful and guilty as charged, My affection never discharged… Even when needed most. My pleas deserve to be ignored, My words to her too poor a reward… I’d rather I haunt her as a ghost. Now she lies hospitalized, My— no, our affection overpriced, Left unread like a forgotten post. I pray I die before I see her death, For guilt may steal my very breath, I fear she will not stay… Kind regards, and my utmost, most sincere apologies, My dearest Grandma.

Guilt
“Guilty!” declares my sinful mind, Its words reflect what burns inside. I have not yet known true loss, Yet treated her as if a cross. I'm sinful and guilty as charged, My affection never discharged… Even when needed most. My pleas deserve to be ignored, My words to her too poor a reward… I’d rather I haunt her as a ghost. Now she lies hospitalized, My— no, our affection overpriced, Left unread like a forgotten post. I pray I die before I see her death, For guilt may steal my very breath, I fear she will not stay… Kind regards, and my utmost, most sincere apologies, My dearest Grandma.
Sorry for keeping you all waiting... I'm going through something right now and I won't be up and about for a while... I'll update as soon as I can.... my dearest regards!
