Stolen Loves Life Sentence

This is my true story. I will tell to you in rhyme, when i worked at a psychiatric hospital, i was only seventeen year old at the time. when one old patient told me the reason she was locked away, she had given all her love to a soldier, for her sin she was sentenced to stay. Every wrinkle is a year of my incarceration. The bags under my eyes hold the tears that have never dried. My sin was to fall in love with a soldier, who was sent off to war, where he died. I had fell with child out of wedlock, put a slur on my family name. My baby was taken away for adoption, my parents said i had brought family shame. I was placed in this institution, to die will be my only release. I pray every day for my child taken away, only in death will i ever find peace. For over sixty years ive been punished, i cry every single day of my life. Not for myself or the punishment ive recieved, but for my child and my soldier, that i should have been mother and wife. Now that my lifes nearly over, with no one to wish me farewell. All that i ask is forgiveness, for a lifetime thats put me through hell. If i please god go to heaven there is only one thing i would ask, to be reunited with my lost loves, so i can apologise for my past. 30/3/2022
