My sturdy heart
Crumbles into pieces
As a mom pleads to God above,
Hoping that her faith increases
But there is nothing that could be done.

For any chance her son would live.
There was nothing she wouldn't give.
As her son struggled with pains unbearable to name,
He was used as a chess piece in someone's sick game.

How could a delicate soul
full of love
Be compelled to leave this earth
And ascend above?
