Always Anyways...
My father's warning rang in my ears.
"But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and
in doubt as nightfall in winter that comes without a star.
Here you will dwell bound to your grief under the
fading trees until all the world is changed
and the long years of your life are utterly spent."
Is there any recovery from what I have done?
Can I ever regain the goodness I once possessed?
Can I reclaim my honor and find love again?
I know what is waiting for me if I cannot...
