Heart ripped out, arteries
Hanging by a thread
Blood pooling on the floor
Soul vacant, trust gone
Sadness moved in
No room for anything else

"...I'm deeply concerned by recently adopted policies which punish children for their parents’ actions ... The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."
