Confession

So here I am again, I think I’ve sinned
I can’t exactly place the how or why
I tried to be a sister and a friend
I never dreamed she’d give this winged reply
The one I told you all about
The pretty one who came here, so devout
She told me all the things she felt she’d lost
And all the things she feared to be without
I told her all the things that I’ve been told
Those comforts that I took when I was young
But still, I think she only saw me old
I don’t know what I said to make her run
So here I am again, I think I’ve sinned
I can’t exactly place the how or why
I tried to be a sister and a friend
I never dreamed she’d give this winged reply
She’s given up the veil, the vows she’d sworn
Abandoned every effort to conform
Without a word to anyone she’s gone her way alone
A dove escaping back into the storm
I tried to show her I could understand
But still she chose to leave me for the cold
It makes me doubt the woman that I am
God forgive me all that I’ve been told
So here I am again, I think I’ve sinned
I can’t exactly place the how or why
I tried to be a sister and a friend
I never dreamed she’d give this winged reply
