Remorse

Running
Slowing down
Trying to catch my breath
What have I done?
Checking around me
Dark
A sound
What was that?
Who is it?
Come out
No response
Continues to go
To the road end
Must get there
Can’t come back
What have I done
Forced
No choice
Feeling
Why this suffering
Pain
I want forgiveness
But how
My faith is gone
Or?
Continues to go
Thoughts

I Stop
Looking up
Stars
Thousands
The beautiful black sky
Wet feeling
My hand on my cheek
Tears?
.......
It burns
Is there remorse?
Remorse of tears?
Yes?
No?
There must be regret
Want this no more
I want to be free
Trying to run again
It hurts
I can no longer
My remorse is much
Slowing down
I breathe heavily
Stops

Falling down on my knees
Slowly
My hands stretched forward

Oh Allah
My true self
Face remorse
Oh Allah
I regret
Show me the way
Oh Allah
I am alone
Want guidance
Oh Allah
The almighty
Oh Allah
Forgive me
