Garden of Sin

I cultivated a garden of a sin. A garden carefully planted to attract mercy. A sight surpassed only by my hanging garden of deceit. With all my treachery reaching down in a attempt to cover my sins. And with each passing day I trim my vines, in an attempt to keep my deceit at bay. To keep its trap at bay and to save myself, and to make its temptation retreat. I decorate my gardens with fountains to wash away my sins ,and to keep the seeds of deceit at bay ;to stop them from taking hold of this rich clay.
