After Sins

A Poem by Reign

but only you and what's left of me...

In this hands, I always tend to look.

The stains of sin and regrets, still

lingers inside my head.

I have wandered far, losing myself

in the moment, not caring for what

I truly am. My heart that's already 

hardened, full of hollowness and

fury, I have lost control.

But all of this, everything that I have

fought for, suddenly it changes.

That day when I met that person, 
who gave me a second chance at life.
Sharing both our sorrows and empty
selves, we found a new sense of hope.

It was not for long, but I still remember
those blissful days. 

Until I've lost it, that one thing I promised
to protect. Holding onto her with a shaking 
breath, tears come falling, I could only
regret.

Both eyes hollowed, as those final words
whisper...

"I'm sorry, there's no next time...
But only you and what's left of me;
that still lingers in your heart and
memory."

Reaching out with one last breath, she left
me a painful scar that I shall never forget.

It wasn't a battle scar to be proud of,
but an open wound that aches everyday.
Reminding the past and only shows of
how one and not the other, has got here

today...
