Point of view- La Llorona

And how is it that my tragedy
has been turned into myth?
one that has made me into a frightening,
abhorrent thing
- to be reviled
and who remembers my
beauty?
who mentions him?
- my betrayer and defiler
he,- the true monster.
And why doesn't anyone speak
of my once innocence
my vulnerability
taken
forever
- by him?
Yes, I killed my children
and yes, I am sentenced to weep
throughout eternity
- not just for them,
- mis hijos
but for the truth behind these words:
" Hell hath no fury..."
