Strange title but I loe it, it's like an image, does not it?

Which among so many mists

hides that truth that sometimes screams

and sometimes only breathes?

What beats in my oblivion

that turns me into my executioner

without knowing what my fault is?

Everything is ink that fades

under the water of a tear

the portrait of a yesterday

that is still here

despite being gone

What good are my dreams

if there are no skiess to place them in?

What good are my hands

if there is only air to hold on to?

What it's for?

They are words that went away

with the air of a sigh

and even if I look into my guts

I will find nothing clear

when life and its traps

turn off the light of the soul

Taken Away

Hello TSFers! Sorry, a real tearjerker 😥 today. But I've been wanting and trying to write something that made sense for my birth-mother for a VERY long time now. Any feedback is welcome.

TAKEN AWAY

The greatest loss I’ve suffered

Is the loss of my mother

It would’ve been easier if she’d passed away

‘Cuz the state took me and my brother

As babies from our mother

And it’s hard finding the right words to say

[Climb]

Mother fought so hard; she fought so hard to keep us

It must’ve shattered her heart into a million pieces

[Chorus]

Taken away

There are no words to say

Taken away

I can’t get over it to this day

In a thousand-some places

In a thousand-some faces

I searched for someone who remotely looked like me

By the time I found Mother

She was six-feet under

But at least I knew, then and there, she was finally free

[Climb]

Mother fought so hard; she fought so hard to keep us

It must’ve shattered her heart into a million pieces

[Chorus]

Taken away

There are no words to say

Taken away

I can’t get over it to this day

Now, in Maplewood Cemetery

Next to that lovely willow tree

May you rest in peace, Mother ‘til one day I get there

And when I see you in Paradise

No time will we sacrifice

We’ll have eternity to share and I will forever be:

Taken away, taken away

[Chorus]

Taken away

There are no words to say

Taken away

I can’t get over it to this day
