absolution in a sense
yet the sin remains undone
refuse to give recompense
for emotions that you’ve won

absolution in a glass
your forgiveness found in rum
drinking dreams until they pass
till your memories are numb

absolution in a chance
to unveil what underlies
understanding in a glance
with flirtation in your eyes

absolution in a kiss
your convinced yourself to steal
innocence you will not miss
while embracing what is real

absolution in a smile
and the words that go unsaid
gladly festering a while
in your twitterpated head

absolution in a night
your confessions through embrace
the epiphany you fight
is a smile upon your face

absolution in a dawn
found awaking with a grin
gleeful that your heart is gone
and prepare again to sin
