smacked wrist
a tentative footstep
hesitant - almost fearful
heart stopping moment as realisation dawns
and the full reality is revealed
my guilt all my guilt
regretted and fully felt
so will the earth open and swallow me
such is the shame I feel
bad, bad ,bad
so where do I go?
what is my punishment?
where, where do I go from here?
