Guilt

He sits on that branch,
Staring at you,
And hes been there all day.
What does he see?
You sense he might know.
And you wish hed just fly away.
But hes wiser than you,
As he sits on his perch,
So patient, silent and smart.
It makes you uneasy.
You wish he would leave.
So why wont he just depart?
Hes just a beast.
How could he know?
You decide it just couldnt be.
But his silence - it screams!
It wont let go.
And you know hes not going to leave.
Hes waiting on you!
He knows its your turn,
And only you can break his spell.
Because you did the deed.
And your guilt is real.
You feel it all too well.
Convinced its all right.
You stand your ground.
Believing that you wont be found.
But you know its not true.
As your conscience runs thin.
And hes poised there not making a sound.
The tensions so great!
Just get it all out!
Could that be worse than his cold black eye?
Then you look at him,
And he looks at you,
You know you cant live a lie.
So theres no way out now.
Youre convinced that he knows.
And you spill what you know is right..
Then you look back at him,
But hes no longer there.
That raven has taken to flight!

| This poem reminds me of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. Very interesting. |
