Sin

A sonnet you sang me

A beautiful melody it had

Oh how you love me

Oh how you treasure the time you send with me

The landscapes of your mind filled with our memories

You say my hair shines like a golden light

My skin gently kissed by the sun

My eyes, the color of misery, but bring you delight

My lips pervade with sin

The natural light of the sky captures my feature and brings them to life

As you sang you asked me to dance

As we danced your hands got needy

Your lyrics became shorter and quieter

Your body closer to mine

Before a kiss I say no

Maybe you didn't hear me

I know that isn't true

Perhaps I want to spear myself from reality

Your hands now against my bear skin

I can not run, you are stronger than I

I can not threaten, who will believe me over a man

My options are limited

I turn into a statue

I will not consent

I will not play along

I hold my breath, close my eyes

For it will be a long night

A rooster brings the morning

I do not have to wake, I did not sleep

You are gone

Left in the night, like an animal

You cured your starvation and fled

Your sonnet flew away

And with it beauty, love, time, and memories

My hair like and tangle of roots and vines

My skin like a winters night

My eyes, not only the color of misery, but now resemble it

I now see that my lips were not sinful

Your sonnet a lie

The beauty is darkness

The love is dishonest

The time wasted

The memories damaged

Your hair of snakes

Your skin of thorns

Your eyes of pride, you think you do no wrong

Your lips are not sinful

None of you is sinful

You are sin.
