Sin

I've lost you now,
you've slowly slipped away,
just like I always said you would.

It doesn't hurt like I thought it would,
but still there is pain,
a pain so familiar to this kind heart.

I let you in,
closer than so many before,
just to let myself get hurt again.

But to follow my own advice,
I have to step back and ask myself,
"Are you worth this?"

Part of me wants to say yes,
but my wiser half says no,
because I knew it would end this way.

I was the stupid one,
I chose to stay,
so now this is the price I must pay.

You lured me to you,
I lured you in,
and our love was nothing more than a sin.
