The Eternal Rift

 

The Eternal Rift

Enduring abysmal thoughts, her baby laid to rest, no comfort the grave,

Plagued with punishing sensations, of the little infant, she could not save.

The treasured child departed, confusion welling, within her empty vessel,

Desperately, reimagining the past, set in vivid detail, now a daily wrestle.

In perpetual misery, struck with anxiety, her loving heart emptied out.

Silently suffering, suspended in her sorrow, living the everlasting drought,

Struggling to dismiss, the damaging thoughts, of despair, and depression,

Ardently wishing, her baby back, haunting delusions, taunting obsession.

Fleeting memories, suddenly flooding, to the front, her attention drifting,

Cradle songs, softly sung, now never again, her mood painfully shifting.

Sorely missing, the infant voice, the crying, and contented sounds made,

Little brown eyes, goggling at the world, with inquisitive attention paid.

Desolate mum, lost in soft pastel tones, that created the cozy contrast,

The baby’s room, soft toys, set in the colourful décor, a vision of the past.

The empty cradle gone, where on many long nights, her visual was kept,

Now serving reminder, of the heartache, and sorrow, that she has wept.

Soul consuming pain, eating at her core, wrenching her emotions apart.

Trembling, within the chaos, struggling to repair, the badly broken heart,

An eerie breeze, frequently blowing down, where all the stolen babies lie,

Innocent lost spirits, gravely waiting therein, where miserable mothers cry.
