Penitence

Every day I wake with sorrowAnother day, a gone tomorrowTime goes by and worlds spinBut still I carry pain within

A deep regret that tears awayAnd leaves me buried in dismayI try but can’t outrun my pastForever in the shadows cast

But still I run and cling to hopeThat one day I will find the ropeTo pull myself out of this holeAnd purge the sins that taint my soul
