A mother's heart aches with a pain untold,
As she loses a child to the fentanyl hold.
A drug that creeps in and steals away the light,
Leaving behind a mother's endless night.
She held her baby close, with love so true,
But now she's left with only memories anew.
Her heart is shattered, torn into a million pieces,
As she tries to make sense of the crisis that increases.
She thought she knew the world, and all its pain,
But nothing could prepare her for this loss insane.
Her tears fall like rain, with no end in sight,
As she tries to find the strength to face the night.
But through her grief and sorrow, she finds a glimmer,
Of hope that one day, she'll be reunited with her member.
And though the road ahead may be long and hard,
She'll hold her child's memory close, within her heart.
So to all the mothers who've lost a child to this plight,
Know that you're not alone, in this endless night.
And though the journey ahead may be rough and tough,
Together we'll find a way to heal and rise above.
