I'Ve Sin I'Ve Loved and I'Ve Lost I'Ve Won-

I’ve sin I’ve loved and I’ve lost I’ve won… I’ve lusted for another’s wife, only to 
taste the cold bitter steel of their knife. 

I’ve tasted loves bitter sweet rewards. Its harsh reality of broken hearts and 
dreams never forged. Its tender and gentler side which can be so sweet and 
meek. 

Its divided house when two souls of the opposite collide into a mass of hatred 
instead of love. Its tender compassion that can help them too reunite as one. 

Its somber weeping cries in the midnight air…when it longs for a lover who no 
longer cares. It’s the mourning over a lover who has passed away like a gentle 
rain, that falls on the flowers on a warm spring day. 

Oh! The things that I have did, but not in the name of love…but that of sin. A blink 
of an eye and the favor of a grin? It’s the fool who passes those two signs, who 
will never know true love and know what it really feels like. 

For I’ve sin and I’ve loved I’ve lost and now I won. I found true love, but without the 
lost or the sin…but in the arms of my best friend. My wife.. my soul the very 
reason I do live.
