Guilt

It’s a strange glue
that sticks the victim and tormentor
in a bond too strong
to be broken by the tormentor.

The victim tries to break free
but the tormentor’s evil guilt
hovers above her endlessly
like shadows of past hauntings.

Whenever she opens her mouth
tormentor thinks she will say
something which will blow
his mask of goodness away.

Whenever she does something
the tormentor shivers with fear
thinking it will bring down
his palace made of evil deeds.

So he hovers around her
hiding in the cloak of own sin
he keeps lurking in the darkness
scared to let her go out of sight.
