The Guilt that Haunts Me – Writing Prompt Response

The guilt doesn’t always haunt me and yet it does.  I never go a day without thinking about her. Never a night without a dream.  And yet, at times, I can’t remember the way she smiled or the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed.  She did laugh, I think.  She did smile.  Or maybe she didn’t.  Every day I forget more.  One day, I will have forgotten her entirely.  Will I then still carry the guilt even if I don’t know why? Or will the guilt pass out of my mind like water through a sieve, gone as if it never existed? My mind was born to darkness and to darkness it will return.  In the darkness, I shall finally be alive.
