LAMENTATION OF A TORMENTED WOMAN - 2

In the bitterness of my soul 
I wept sore in my solitude 
Wallowing in my sorrowful spirit 
I lost the sense of my whole 
For how long shall I continue in this service?
For how long shall you torment my spirit?

Your words have become like a dagger to my heart
Piercing it into pieces on a daily basis 
Your actions have become like a sledgehammer to my heart 
Smashing and breaking it on a daily basis 
Is this the love you promised me?
Is this the sweetness that you portrayed to my family and friends?
Or, have I been scammed
Again?
