Silent Shadows of a Broken Mother

Echoes of a hidden pain, silent whispers in the rain

Looking back on scattered pieces of a broken soul

Questions deep within my mind, searching for the truth I’ll find

Lost in memories that burn, stories no one wants to tell

Carried life within, nine months of love and hope

Yet now I see the signs of shadows that have grown

A mother's touch turned cold, cruel words like stones

How could she turn away, from her own flesh and bone?

Doubt circles in my mind, was it all just a disguise?

Did she hide her guilty hands behind a sympathetic guise?

Seeking what is right, trying to understand

The line between pain and love, slipping through her hands

How can a mother be so cruel?

Flesh of her flesh, breaking what was pure

In the silence, I hear her scream, in the echoes of her screams

Questioning the love that bred such pain, soul torn asunder

Betrayal cuts so deep, a wound that might not heal

Trust shattered by the lies, truth is hard to reveal

Can she carry her guilt, or is she lost in regret?

While the silent suffering, she might never forget

Piece by piece, I gather the past, seeking justice, seeking peace

Hoping one day will come, when love can rebalance and release

Until then I stand strong, shedding light on what was wrong

A child's cry, a mother's silence, in the night so long
