It’s missing.
Gone somewhere I cannot find it.
…
Or was it stolen?
Smuggled away in the night by a thief.
Taken without permission.
I’m searching.
Searching…
I will have it again.
I will!

Abandoned
The emptiness I feel
Is most noticed in my soul.

Trying to escape the eternal night.
There Is No Safety Net
Dark shadows,
And a darker abyss.
Falling, flailing,
SCREAMING!
No control.
Spinning, spiralling,
Forever downwards.
Never escaping.

“NO!” I screamed. Cold dread filled my body as the pile of clothing in front of me revealed that I was still to find my baby girl…
