The first is all it takes

My first sin was long ago
It made me into what I am
And now I cannot let it go
Like a clinging shadow of all the damned

Like bags of sand it burdens me
With greater strength than all I know
Its piercing talons make fresh the wounds
Of my first sin so long ago

You have no idea how much

You have no idea how much this spoke to me. Not only is it written superbly, but interwoven with truth and raw emotion, which I loved. Thanks :)
