THE LIFE OF A SHADOW

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED 
FEELINGS BEYOND PAIN,
A STATE OF MENTAL ANGUISH,
ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOU INSANE.

A HEART BROKEN, IS ONLY THE BEGINNING,
TO AN EXPERIENCE SO SEVERE,
OF WHICH WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN,
SO YOU SIT AND STARE 
AT THE WORLD WITHIN YOUR EYES FRAME,
BUT SEES NOTHING.

YOUR SOUL CANNOT BE COMFORTED,
NO SYMPATHY, OR EMPATHY,
CAN CONSOLE YOUR BLEEDING, ACHING, HEART,
ITS AS THOUGH YOU ARE DASHED AGAINST A ROCK,
AND BROKEN INTO A THOUSAND PIECES,
BUT DEATH REFUSES TO EMBRACE YOU.

SO YOU CONTINUE TO EXIST,
WITHOUT LIVING,
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING,
OF A MOTHER’S LIFE,
AFTER THE DEATH OF HER CHILD.
