Father, I Have Sinned...

Well, she steps up in the morning,

And she steps back down at night,

And she never turns head to look back home,

One foot on the trail at all times,

She's a w***e and yet she knows it,

But she's caring and she's awful kind, her

father keeps her in his bind.

 

She's a perfect trophy wife, he tells her,

She's a perfect china doll,

She's his only sense of success that he

doesn't need to fear.

But she's just a girl,

She tells herself, she

doesn't like who she has to bed.

 

He's a complicated mess he is, he's

drunk on life and high on heroine

But he loves her, oh yes he does, he

Smiles each time he lays with her,

And he's a happy man, oh yes he is,

Till the tears fall right down her cheek.

 

She's a perfect little angel, he tells her,

She's a perfect little saint,

She's his only sense of love that he

doesn't have to fear.

But she's just a girl,

he tells himself, she

doesn't need to follow him around.

 

So he prays to God and drinks the wine, he

seals away his only tie to her.

And he's oh so holy, he's

the purest guy for miles around,

joined the priesthood, got a job,

he's gone away from his little saint.

 

Well, she wakes up in the morning,

and she waits around at night,

She's thinking about that one young boy, the

one who ran away from her sight,

and she runs to the confessional box,

Prays "Father, do forgive me,

I've sinned more than anyone in this world"

She knows the voice that answered her prayer,

It's that boy that left her without a care.

And he's just so happy, and just so kind,

and she's just so saddened by his new religious mind.

 

She's a perfect little angel, he tells her,

She's a perfect little saint,

Now God's the only sense of love that he

doesn't have to fear.

But she's just a girl,

he tells her,

She doesn't need to be tempting him no more.

That sucks. Not the poem for that is well done, but the story. Definetely feel bad for her. Another piece that would fit nicely as a song. Two hooves up for you.
