Old Sins Cast Long Shadows

I really thought I’d put the past behind me I’ve tried to make amends so many times but no it’s not enough. Oh what more can I do. It is so true what they say ‘Old sins cast long shadows’. I sit here in despair as the darkness closes in Is there no relief? Yes, I know I sinned but then I was young and carefree I never thought at all of the consequences Now in my old age and nearing my time on earth I can feel nothing but a deep sorrow and I’ve added another terror to death Oh Gods above, what if the grave is unquiet?
