Sins!

Who is that, looking so scared?

Peeping through my window pane



It's just a perception

Of my youthful reflection

Wary of my ego and the past

Looking for me out in the dark



All of my sins have come together

Outside my door

Holding hands in a circle

Demanding from me

Reasons for my actions

Sipping on some wine

In this bright moonlit night



Tumbling and tossing to the ground

My diminutive reflection is confined

I know it all so well

Their reasons for creating this hell



They are asking me to pay

For the moments of my past

With the remainder of my days



They keep me up all night

So I sleep through the day light

I know that I might not ever rest



I sit and I deplete

All through the night

Trying to mend the time

I know I cannot rewind



This is how I must repay

For those past distant days
