Guilt Can Never Be Left Abandoned

A feeling of guilt,
Comes to attach to a mind...
As if applied to affix with supper glue.
To disturb only the one who knows it.

No matter if the truth is told.
It is going to be there,
To eventually show...
Someone mentally troubled.

Guilt can never be left abandoned,
As easily as a lie one leaves to tell.
Or believes...
In the doing of it.

Truth on the other hand,
When it eventually appears...
Seems never to mind,
To have tolerated a wait with patience.
