Faithfully?

From a faithful heart a world torn apart, from a battered
mind two taken from time.

A heavy heart you touched my soul though to me you
were not know but, in this senseless violence there is comfort
because to Heaven you have flown.

When I think of this wildness I can’t help but be filled with so much 
anger, I lay my face in my hands and cry for your terror.

A million antecedents, your heart must have been huge; or did he 
ingrain in your mind something that wasn’t true? 

For love or something, you endured and paid the ultimate sacrifice,
so let’s never forget Teresita and Rachel, ironically they showed us 
how to save a life.

From a faithful heart a world torn apart, from a battered
mind two taken from time.
(Victims of family violence taken from the world)
