What sin did I commit to deserve such a harsh punishment? 

How did I wrong my Lord so that he felt compelled to leave me this way?

Why do my prayers fall on deaf ears? 

Where is my God?

Why am I so dreadfully alone?

What did I do to deserve this?

Why have you left me?

Why can't you forgive me?

Why must I suffer?

Why don't you answer?

How do I atone for my actions, my Lord?

Why won't you answer me?

Why am I so alone?

Why do you speak to others?

What did I do to deserve utter abandonment?

My God, where are you when my hands are clasped and I'm begging for your return?

Why don't you answer me?

I thought you loved your children, my Lord?

My Lord, why can't I find you?

Why am I so far from your warmth?

Why won't you listen?

My Lord... I apologize... please my Lord answer?

Where is your light?

What have I done, my Lord?

Where are you, my Lord?

I'm sorry, please come back to me.

I welcome you back, my Lord... please forgive me.

I know I'm a sordid woman, my Lord... please allow me refuge in your arms.

Please, my Lord.   

 My hands are clasped and I'm on my knees begging for your return....

Please, my lord.

Please... forgive my sin.

Please.
