Analysis of Guilt for moving on
Mark A. Klein 1965 (Cairo, Ill)
Memories shattered
as time walks by
Distant as the stars with just a glimmer of the past
Guilt engulfs me for moving on
That I share happiness
So I should be damned
Pestilence be upon me
No more should I hold your picture
To think I deserve the right
Have I forsaken you
Please let this guilt move on
My love has not withered
To you I’m not lost
Just time seems too long
And I am alone
Forgive me I pray
That our time will still come
My memory awakened
Just like it was before
