Reprieve 

After what you’ve done do you deserve rest

So you close your eyes and dream of all the things you’ve missed

Or the things that you have messed up

For yourself

For others

A nightly reprieve 

All you need to absolve yourself of your sins 

Just to make the same mistakes over again 

When will you learn

You’re only true reprieve will need to be earned

But the how is something you’ll have to learn

On your own 

Until then you shall be cursed to roam from place to place 

from sin to sin 

Until you correct what is truly wrong within
Reprieve
