Faceless woman who gave me life,
Haunts my thoughts,
Fans the flames of curiosity,
I bear no blame or negative sentiment,
Only speculation and wonder,
Vague vision from formal description,
A fantasy figure in mind,
Long glossy hair, chocolate eyes,
Flawless complexion and an adoring smile,
A dream of perfection,
Ignorant bliss, I have no memory,
Of her, saying goodbye as I cry,
A bond broken, yet the blood still flows,
Thicker than water, binding us together,
With the strength of a spider’s web,
A thousand questions, a hole to fill,
In a complex jigsaw,
Of a mother torn, between selflessness,
And selfishness, her child was given
A better life, nurture and love,
There is no closure, time passes,
My search goes on,
For the faceless woman.
