Challenge
Tell me your greatest loss.
Innocence Lost
Champagne footprints of the moon
echoed on the wandering stream.
Loss of innocence reflects my shadow,
vacant face of violator flows forever.
Wounded soul sieves through memory
liquefied moment he stole my spirit
leaving bittersweet drops of strength
fleeting mirror of what I could have been.

Challenge
Tell me your greatest loss.
My Greatest Loss
A child's mind
Easily exploited
Rewritten memories
Forgotten truths
Mother's love
Unwanted & rejected
Father's command
Emulated & admired
Mother escaped
Freedom hardwon
A tyrant vows revenge
Cruelest torture
She'll regret, she'll beg
When her children
Become vessels of hate
Liberation purchased
At unimaginable cost
Was it worth it?
She's broken & alone
