she sits alone
this woman
staring blankly at nothing
thinking thoughts
she wished would leave her
haunted by the past
possessed by actions she cannot take back
her aloneness is deserved of her
she doesn't deny that
for this is her purgatory
this is her hell
the damage she had done is unfixable
the souls she has destroyed
are not salvable
her penance is eternity
to live with hearing
cries of anguish and pain
and to see the hollow, frightened eyes
of the ones she has hurt
she will feel a constant tugging of her heart
hoping for a love that will never come.
yearning for forgiveness
that will never be offered.
yes, this is her fate
this is her road to perdition.
