Grief.

How could this be the fate of Christ?
She wept and pledged her very life.
The tears fell from her forlorn frame.
The Romans and the Jews, she blamed.

Her heart could not contain her grief.
Nor could her soul escape berief.
Why would His God allow this fate?
She asked the heavens, for Christs sake.

Her heart was torn, her sorrow, born.
Her tears would last 'tll early morn.
How could this be the fate of Christ?
The penalty was over-priced.

He was so good, she loved him so.
He'd taught her happiness and woe.
The road to life, the ways of death.
How to recieve eternal breath.

He died with cruelty from mean hands,
with accusations lying brands,
She would not ever find console,
her Lord she loved with all her soul.

Picture Prompt # 1: Sorrow

Personal note:
Mary Magdalene, it is taught by many, was a prostitute.
She was NOT!
She was a young girl who was posessed by 7 evil spirits, [Demons] who, in turn, gave her many powers , and because of this, certain men used her to gain profit by her predictions.
Jesus expelled the demons from her, and she no longer was able to predict the future or gain money for these men.
She became a devout follower of Jesus and friend to his mother.
Luke 8:1,2 Mark 16:9
