The Orphanage

Katerina Hernandez.
Counting the days till
she is doomed with death,
as the thought of her mother.
searching for a purpose.

Found by a priest that calls her name,
without a trace of his existence.
With a widening shadow,
eyes burning like a flame.
An Earthquake that shakes her secrets.

He took her.
Draining her existence,
like the color that escapes her face.
Untangling her twisted mind like the invisible noose around her neck.

She couldn’t escape the torment of lost memories of her family's faces.
Missing the warmth of their love
but will always be together,
like the rusted chains connecting them forever.
