I know I am a sinner.

I have done
Many a heinous deed.

I have laughed
In a dying man's face
As he pleaded for mercy.

I...knew no mercy.

But I have a home now.
A kind and loving spouse,
A little one to watch over.

How can my bloody hands hold them
Without the slickness
Causing them to slip out of my hands?

I don't want this!

I don't want these hands to touch them,
I don't want my little one
To know
What a sinner his parent is!

That's why I must go.
I can't face them anymore,
Not anymore.

So goodbye,
My precious family.
Because I will never,
Not for as long as I live,
Ever let you see me again. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 213 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Ensis718 [notes] => Changed category from miscellaneous to dark due to content.

Deep inside my soul
I know I am a sinner.

A kind and loving spouse,
A little one to watch over.

How can my bloody hands hold them
