Causing hurt by act or Words Others forget with time or by indifference Scar caused within Cannot be independent of the inside Neither does time exist outside Exit doors shut Front row seats to watch Yourself wallow in regret Retribution none greater Life sentence in a loop Refusing to let go Mind begs for parole Conscience denies it At one go Thrown to the lions A matter of seconds Living with regret Memory keeps vigil Playing the warden Prisoner in your own mind Trust me the better of with the lions
