With tears of shame
And a heart conflicted
She stands within the rain
Shoulders hunched in surrender
Trembling with fear
Her sacrifice made in love
And helpless despair
Concealed in shadows
There she wait's
Her weaken heart breaking
Bleeding cuts, bruising flesh
Hum within her veins
Her agonizing desperation
Set from an ultimatum
As the door open wides
And an angel steps outside
She sighs her last mortal breath
Her faith now re-insured

not sure if this is what you had in mind.....but its my take on the prompt
credit for prompt ~Rose Dark Thorn
Prompt:
And once again it has been proven that she doesn't deserve to find a home. Once again, she realizes that everyone will leave her alone.
It's just another part of history repeating itself, laying her heart bare against cold stone. It's just another punishment earned for misdeeds she needs to atone.
And while her soul is ruptured and left bleeding out into the snow, she once again realizes that her heart is just another worthless piece of fake gold.
How could anyone so rotten deserve a loving home?
