Miscarriage Into Madness
She stares into the darkness
Talking to her friends
Sight unseen they beckon
That's where it all begins
A babe herself of sixteen years
A mother without a child
A miscarriage into madness
By voices now beguiled
She whispers to her unseen friends
As a smile crosses her face
A dimension void of sight and sound
A dark and lonely place
No one here can reach her
As she sits in silent bliss
An innocent soul in torment
Lost in the abyss
The voices continue beckoning
In the silence, without a sound
She tries to hold her unborn child
But he's nowhere to be found
On the edge of utter darkness
She cannot find the light
She slips into insanity
As a prisoner of the night
