I Cannot Return

I'm torn between the 
sinfulness of my 
intentions
and my enduring innocence
Each derive pleasure from my 
wavering stints,
An opening window invites
a seal pregnant with 
a lost soul
Inviting you to unfurl
the sin in me
And close me shut...
Each cleft arouses the bruises 
I bear
A retool can chance 
a rousing stare
But to this I swear 
I cannot return
