What is it like

To be haunted by Sin?

When every waking moment,

You are forced to recall,

What you shouldn’t have done.

Sometimes it’s the little things,

Like oops I touched something I shouldn’t have.

Those are mere fragments,

To the terrors buried

Deep within your soul.

Why did I do that?

Why wasn’t there someone to try and stop me?

Why did I have no self control?

I remember my deepest sins,

As harsh as the sun shines.

There is no forgiving yourself,

When you know you’re a criminal.

Is there a cure to the haunting?

Is there a happy ending?

Of course not!

You can never undo the past,

No matter how badly you want to.

You will forever bear your sins,

Until the day you die.
