A New Cord

by debbie-lydon

Here I am, awake, alive and in strength, A strength that has encased itself around and still embracing, A new cord, granted to live and suffocate, Mine from the very moment her poisonous cord was cut, Its envelopment has a weight that many broken hearts can't bear, And if you can see that new cord, I can tell you, I'm not there. Oh the costly consequences of her child's protection, What terrors this thin film has endured and then veiled, Such a charlatan's tongue has her actress when she's speaking, Be kind to her if you believe you can, a cataclysm, a tragedy, from her new cord is leaking. The thunder is shameless in its powerful percussion, And brave is the morning with its barefaced horizon, So surely then, one new cord can be severed and forever broken? One hushed voice finally heard, what gilded words could then be spoken?
