ropes of guilt strangle the heart br mountains of regret drown the soul br these burdens are too many br this is all piling too high br past ideas linger there br many memories cant be forgotten br it is like all this heavy guilt, br all this unforgiving regret, br is wrapping like a rope tight around the heart br and drowning the soul br the hardening heart exists no longer br it has been strangled to its death. br the drowned soul can speak no more br cause it can no longer take a breath.
