Sinner

I say sorry as I feel the best I've ever felt

Moaning my apologies into the hand of a man that I know will never hold me with any tenderness

Willing forgiveness from a God who will never grant it

Hoping that someday, in the arms of someone else
I can find some small semblance of purity

I do my hoping silently
among all the noise and the sweat and the filth I've brought upon myself

I take what I can get
Maybe I'll even learn to want it someday

This is such a real, raw, unvarnished, and wonderful poem. Very well written, Cerys!

Always think live's too short to be stuck with someone who doesn't want you. Tough one.
