…
Here in the dark I sit.
Polishing my sins
with a rag and spit.
No matter how hard I rub,
the patina never succumbs.
Encrusted with smudge,

Woe festers underneath skin –
A soul burdened with crimes
of the heart.
Handcuffed and caged
with unyielding bars.
Cast away the key.
My penance will stretch an eternity.
