A Mother´s Sorrow



The wind wasn’t kind
When it hit her face
She was walking so slowly
Beneath a heaven of pain

All she feels is such a deep hole
Her hands become so cold
She was possessed by an infinite lost
The purest magic of hers is gone

Every breath hurts
Every heartbeat aches
She lives her life dying
Like the punishment for surviving

Where is the smile she died for?
Where is the voice that moved her soul?
Where is the heart she cried for?
Where is her son?
