Nothing can alter
The pain she left behind
Devastation
Tears with no end
Aching hearts
Endless
What ifs
And
If onlys
And the relentless question
Why!
And then one day
In the midst of my despair
A mighty silence fills the air
I clutch chest
Hold my breath
My hands turn icy cold
I see beneath the trailer steps
From a story that she told
Dressed in rags
Haunting eyes
Her face at five-years-old
A trampled spirit
Stolen soul
Molded there
Scarred forever
Yet no one came to rescue
I see a man
A faceless man
Small in every way
A loveless heart
The devil’s brother
Bidding to his call
And so her life
A guarded plight
Of anger unresolved
Bound in hopeless
Perilous despair
Too great for her to bear
