Yo soy La Llorona - free verse version

My loud sorrow
drips depression
from family walls.

I love my children
I do.

My twisted thoughts
so clear.
Can you hear,
Can you hear Him 
calling for them?

My pure children
would be tainted
by my sins
and illusions

Unless I sent them
to Him.

Because I love them 
so 
much...

It was a special 
innocent day.

We all 
dressed in white.

I baptized them
along the river
where they used to
laugh and play

They looked so peaceful
as if asleep.

asleep...

asleep??
No!!

What have I 
done
to my children?

I wasn't ready!

Please return them!
You MUST 
return them!

I wasn't 
ready!...
