I Have Sinned, Mother

I'm a dirty woman I've never killed a man, but it felt like it The moment I have that knife in my hand It felt like I'm invisible Forgive me, mother I am not being a good girl, am I? I was innocent enough until I learned the truth The ugly truth of how addicting it is It was not even a difficult decision I felt alive during those times And I have to live with that regret I have done the unspeakable Must I confess mother? Will God forsaken my weaknesses? I am too ashamed and bitter about it Forgive me, mother For I have sinned so greatly.
