Sinner's Retribution

Hands clasped, eyes closed Future’s dim, stories untold Awaiting the ember flame brimming with toiling shame Pleading for a broken retribution Grasping for my long, lost salvation What have I done? Where have I gone? I’ve lost my way under the guiding sun Blemished sins that I hadn’t shun Once more basking in this credence of light Hoping that I don’t get lost again in the recurring night Forgive me Father, for I have sinned Allow me to rest in my contempt so grim Rid me of this ill-fated friend I call my mind Help me gather my thoughts of the sublime. Else, I shall wrap myself in the absolute Hoping to escape my share of death’s loot.
