Temptation Lost
A hardened heart that knows no shame,
found a way to her sincere innocence.
As I knew of the monster that I became,
such erroneous nights of profound ignorance.
The lonesomeness had me cornered in sin,
from burned out cigarettes and bottled liquor.
She taught me it is not important if i win,
only if I could sit here and talk with her.
Her tone was sweet but held its ground,
like the big sister that I never had.
And slowly her true feelings were found,
I saw her scars and the reason she was sad.
She spoke of pennies and thoughts divine,
I knew I had been blessed this sacred night.
As God sent his angel to give me a sign,
I finally felt like I was going to be alright.
