Sin and Me

I have known sin

I have danced with it when I sang with the devil

I have looked hell in the eye

And returned, born anew

I have known sin

I have listened to it sing lullabies when I couldn't sleep

I have heard demons cry and spirits wail

In my head chaos reigns

But as it comes out

It transforms into docile tears

I have known sin

I have hidden it in my pretty smiles when your eyes pried.

Sin singing lullabies is an image worth conjuring with.
