she’s slipping away

away from me

her face is like mine

please don’t leave me

please don’t go

no… mama no, no

its quiet, many whispers

the hugs, tears

there’s a secret in my house

i can feel it 

mama i need you, 

i’m getting scared

they took me today 

in a car,   that was strange

confused, he should be coming

how much longer? no one tells me

i wait, but now its many tomorrows

i cry they say be strong

where is he?

My heart beats

loud like a drum.

i want to cry but i 

save it for dark

then they don’t see.

he wouldn’t leave me here

would he?  why?

mama help

me, come for me.

i’m alone.

her face is like mine

scarred by tears, never can

erase, full of fears

to carry till the end of

my days.
