She screams
A sound that penetrates
The hearts of all around.
She breaks
Her heart explodes
She crumbles to the ground.
A child
Her childhood stolen
With the burst of a pea.
Her mother
Gone forever, gone
Her brain not meant to be.
What now?
The love stops here
A cry for help.
Don't leave
Come back to her
The child needs you well.
A babe
Without her mother
Cannot live or be.
Her life
It should be simple
A heart that's free.
Don't go
Your hand still warm
Her hope is raised.
Soon shattered
As eyes rest
Upon your face.
No breath
Your chest is still
No rise and fall.
She lost
And in that moment
Lost it all.
