It gnaws at his conscience

11 of 12 given words:
gnaws touch prints fall wheel whistle 
broken apart thread ring echo

It gnaws at his conscience
Befitting of the hurt meted out
Touch of class is a rare lesson
Leaving prints in the clouds

Fall from grace a damning start
Wheel of fortune hard to discern
But in a whistle, it is broken apart
Not careful in extending concern

Thin thread that intrudes emotionally
Ring of sadness through her heart
To echo a similar occasion recently
So tactless not being smart to impart

  3. We all make mistakes. If you hurt someone apologise and move on, do not try make a go of it as they have already seen your bad side...just remember your remorse.
