Confessions of a Guilty Women

Here I am,
Standing at the alter
Where I plead my case and express my guilt.
I confess,
My emotions were torn and my heart was buried within his ashes.
My furious wrath broke him.
I am guilty,
Standing at the alter
Where I plead my case and express my guilt.
I confess,
My love for him was limitless.
His love for me had its limits.
My heart was an open book,
His heart was a pit of fire
In which my heart turned to ashes.
I stand before the alter,
Expressing my confession of a guilty woman.
