Where were you

The day love died

Who were you

The night your heart cried

Lost in a trance

Shrouded by fear

Willing to destroy

All you hold dear

Who’s voice rang out

Raging from the past

Imprisoned so long

Possibilities are vast

Was it the child

Scared and alone

Violated so young

Safe place never known

Maybe the mother

Who’s children had grown

Lost was her purpose

Afraid to be alone

A wife seeking answers

Her questions within

Lost everything she thought

Yet the chance to start again

Was it the victim

So easily controlled

Guilt and shame

Just do what you’re told

Maybe the women

Who’s heart once raced

Undeserving of love

This can’t be my place

Where you are now

Not meant to be

In quiet search yourself

In your soul is the key
