Stolen Away

 

Stolen Away

Each day waking, haunted by terrible nightmares, reset to replay,

Now, utterly lost, and unable to cast, the fearsome feelings away.

Mother’s minds wracked, with duplicity, of cruel crimes committed,

Plagued with the myriad of doubt, horror that cannot be acquitted.

The weight of which, akin to constant grief, way too much, to bear,

Burning inside, the incessant fires raging, with pain beyond compare.

Like tumors fervently devouring, creating emptiness, akin to remorse,

From the beautiful children, that they have lost, taken by terrible Orcs.

To be left with a vacant space, void of the great love, that they shared,

Distraught, with loves compassion felt, that bound their hearts there.

Where are their innocent children, now sorely missed, unable to reach,

With every minute, of every day, their distressed minds, set under siege.

With the infant smiles, forcefully erased, to become a thing of the past,

Now restrained, in some strangers’ arms, the mental torture, set to last.

Perhaps forever, living with orcs, the poor little souls unjustly banished,

Devoid of their mothers’ and fathers’ affection, emotionally famished.

Sorely missing, the warmth of their parent’s embrace, and loving hearts,

Plagued with awful pain, damn the evil force, that has set them apart!
