A Little Sin

A Little Sin

A Poem by Erica Sharp
"

A song from one of my characters.

"

[Verse 1:]

It was just a little sin...

It was just a little light of mine dimmed

It was just a baby mistake

It was just another habit I can't break

It was just him...

I was just a regular girl

He was like a fairytale or myth

He told me that I was a cute thing

I told him that he was too sweet

It only took a day of talkin'

By night the roof was his sheets

The only sad thing about it...

Was he had a wife and she...

Was sweeter than he...

 

[Chorus:]

Damn...I could've swore that we were gonna make it right

I could've swore that we'd be hand in hand by this time

But you still got a girl and I got a man

Damn...it was just a little bit of sin

Fornication with someone that's not your girl-my boyfriend

And now I'm takin' all this medicine

And all you're f****n' feelin' like's trippin' right?

All I'm f****n' feelin' like's damn damn damn damn damn

Don't make too much of a big deal about it

Or anything that it's similar with

Cause it was just a little sin

 

[Verse 2:]

Damn...baby, what you thinkin'?

That I don't have a clue?

Maybe if I was drinkin'...

I would've never knew...

Time is steady grievin'...

Cause you're wasting it slow...

I told you I would leave him...

But he won't let me go...

You're told me you'll leave your girl and I was assured

Yet after all that I'm believin'...

I'm still catchin' you with her...

 

(Chorus)

 

[Verse 3:]

I call him back so late at night

He's gotta know I'm seein' someone else

I don't even get his text...

Until i get in bed and think to call my lover again-

I need help

I didn't wanna do it

I don't wanna point fingers

But he kinda did it to himself

Used to hear his name and the echo would linger

And stay all day in my head

Until I got it stuck in his

I saw both of you as kind and loving

I guess I made it all up

Cause of the euphoria from us doin' it

It's not even a predicament I'm in

Cause it was just a little sin...

 

(Chorus)
