A crime commited

sorenbarrett

Stolen, dropped and broken

what was precious neglected

healing words ne'er spoken

too late to be corrected

 

Then I'd do anything to get her

I tore in her heart a hole

young I knew no better

'Twasn't love, but her inner being I stole

 

If you take a life, a life you give

But when you take a soul

Nothing will you forgive

and the devil takes his toll

    Regrets? yeh - me too. Redemption in later life, but life's early transgressions cannot be wiped or excused, in my mind at least...
    A short nugget which says it all. Thanks Soren.
