Lost Soul

She hated herself there’s no denying that
As God’s favourite chastened child
Bearing the burden of betrayal
And a heavy heart filled with sorrow
In her sombre world 
Where light doesn’t penetrate the walls 
Penalized for her sins 
Waiting for the gallows to pull in 
And bring her dim life story to the end 
A tortured soul never touched with genuine love
Appreciated or treasured
The curtains will fall 
On the lie, she has been living for so long
Then may her soul rest in peace.
