Haunted

A soul smeared with darkness
Of actions never to be undone
No retribution
To relieve the sting of regret
Just visceral dreams
Provoked and taunted
By fiery flashbacks
Which stain the remorseful spirit
Dragging it spiralling down
With the bitter repetition
Of memories that burn
Blazing through a weak mind
Still yearning to remember
That which should be forgotten
