Forgive me father
for I have sinned
I have tasted forbidden fruit
And left evidence
My lips run red
My beard is matted
With the juices of good and evil
And I have tasted knowledge
Today I was eve
and serpent as well
I have tempted woman
And spilled her blood like Cain
So forgive me feather
I have planted the seeds of a new tree
At the back gate you left unlatched
Author notes
If you missed the innuendo, I cheated with my best friend's girlfriend as I was trying to help save their relationship.
Well shit.

Your honesty is refreshing it has to be said. And I like that you've written how you're ashamed of yourself rather than someone else's misgivings, which is what most of the other contestants have done. Anyway, thank you for your entry.
