Yet, here's a spot!
Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
The act; the guilt; the price.
The safest places are the most dangerous.
When you think that nobody is watching
You become oblivious to your surroundings
Familiarity breeds contempt.
It all starts with a desire.
A craving.
A longing.
A temptation.
Like a child's appetite for vanilla ice cream.
Everything has a progression.
It's the law of nature.
After desire has conceived,
It gives birth to sin;
And sin, when it is full-grown,
Gives birth to death.
I lie in bed as these words play in my head
Against the backdrop of the scene from that night.
Fear creeps inside of me
As guilt grips my heart
The day's busyness wasn't enough to divert my thoughts
I still had to face the hauntings
that kept me awake.
Whenever I closed my eyes
The darkness got darker
And in that mess of black, the picture suddenly appears
I see that little girl bending forward at her porch
trying to get a better glimpse of me as I drove passed her
She must have been horrified by what her mother saw
There was no time to waste.
I needed to get out of there.
Nobody knew what happened after I left.
It was a mistake I wish I never made.
A blunder caused by carelessness and neglect.
Yet, here's a spot!
It's the spot of shame and sin.
Never will I be able to forgive myself for what I've done.
The happenings of that night has brought me great unrest.
No words of comfort can calm me down.
No act of concern can atone for my transgression.
The stain of my sin can only be washed away by his blood.
Until I know that he has borne the weight of my sin,
Then will I be assured that I am free and not condemned.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
