the painful memories that torture;
not wanting to be tortured;

Who was he she knew not;
she closed her eyes and thought not.

She lay still in her cot;
waiting to bid farewell;
never return to a world;
where truth is damned;
and traitors flourish.

The child was gone;
and now it was her turn;
to return to her destiny;
in a world yonder…
