The Weight of Sin

I stand naked before you,

my soul exposed

to the imperfect self that I am,

open as the wind

discloses every hollow,

and the air flees from my lungs,

bare skin so cold I shiver,

I can feel and damn, how it hurts.

I promise you, the light won’t burn,
shake off the edgy restlessness,
feel time as it’s given back to you,
as you lose the weight of sin.
