Consequences
Are an unruly bunch
They are never invited
yet they always show up
They linger too long
Sometimes they never leave
They are loud and boisterous
Always speaking for you
Always taking up space
They are like a shadow
Always with you wherever you go
They are always in the now
Because they are always in the present
No matter what is left behind
No matter how carefully covered is the trail
No matter how heartfelt the apology
Or how heavy the regret
They never let you forget
They attach ... like a leach
Clawing, biting, draining the life source
Always coloring your path
Going before you as a reminder
Scarlet is the letter
Forgiveness is not in their nature
Indifferent is choice
But a constant companion
