Grief

Afraid alone, no comfort to hold Empty she tries to hide her life deep inside No solace to seek, No friend to find One life, one mother who’s bitter and cold One faithful day a friend appears Finds a comfort she sort for many years But still dazed mother is the source of her fears Cry she does, as long as nobody at home hears He gave her his family when she none Gave her love, she saw only in dreams Her mother did not see what it means A premature labour that turn her mum numb She turned to drugs to cope with the pain It turned her violent, her child she blamed Blood on the table, forever stained Two broken hearts, only one remains ---------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by Heart on a Chain by Cindy C Bennett
