Depth of Inner Strength

A whole 6 months she waisted on him, She sobs as she pops another pill in. T.V in the corner drones out news at one, Ten soldier's die in another road bomb. Such pain to the core, how i loved him, my man She sobs as she pops a pill while she can. bankrupt father kill's his children of three, The mothers in shock, she's now in therapy. I can't live without him, I cannot go on, She sobs as she pops them one by one. The mother of missing child with a plea, Any one out there with info for me. her head is now fuzzy, her balance has gone, She's drifting away as she pops the last one. Girls kept in a cellar for twenty years, Re-united with parents, released from there fears. She thought this was pain, she decided in haste, Such weak inner strength, what a shame, what a waste.
