Too Late Now (Elegy)

When I see her walk and hear her talk, The fire of anger burns again A kind of hate I know is right That all this time I hid in vain.

Evil took a human s form And that in her I saw. Each day since then I d wish her dead Though it s wrong, I know.

Now, I ve seen her done and gone, You d think I d feel compassion; However, no, it didn t come. Those feelings have all gone.

I fear I m being heartless now To one poor soul that s lost, But mercy can t be learned so fast When my God she s disgraced the most.

I used to hope I could one day forgive The devil that she is, But it s too late for now she s gone, And I know the gruesome place where she is.
