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.
