Sin.

Alone, you make
the heavens mute.

All alone,
you betray them all
who once you cheered.

I look to your right.
I look to your left.
I see the reproach which made Adam pale,
in all his glory.

I have learned to loathe you!
Thus,i walk away,
so far away;
from you who made all of  calvary mourn
like a gruesome night.
