guilt

Have you ever experienced the 'guilt'?

...of exploring endless possibilities, knowing all the while that they can never come true..

...of crossing boundaries that ought never to be traversed, for the sake of a less painful tomorrow...

...of knowing the consequences and yet silently daring to move ahead taking baby steps towards it...

...of not being able to resist temptations even when you know that you shouldn't succumb to them...

...of treading on quicksand, with the awareness that every step you take will just pull you downwards in a helpless abyss..

...of holding on to something that was never yours...

...of letting go of something that was to stay...

...of running away perhaps a little too soon...

...of waiting hopelessly a little too long...

...of feeling guilty even when you arn't at fault...

...of caution, making you feel you have been a coward
