Legal Abduction

A hairline fracture
runs through my heart

Threatening to split
it in two

The muscle feels as
if it's falling apart

And the only cure is
you

I look at images
from my past

Moments frozen in
time and encased in glass

Beautiful family
portraits smiling from a mountains path

I relish in the
thought that the joy will forever last

Then dark clouds
roll in as the gavel drops down

A secret amendment
signed by a devil in black gown

I look back at the
portrait of that fun family day

But now my youngest
child is fading away

As the storm builds
and rain pours down

I plant down my feet
and firmly stand my ground

I step out into the
swirling unknown

To fight this ruling
as hard as I can go

As this fracture
splits deeper into my heart

I will never give
up, no, I never will part

With that little
girl who shines  so bright

Until I have her
back at home, I'll forever fight
