Analysis of helpless she stands...
A mother lays her head on a wall.
As she can't stand tall, but only to fall.
There is no sight, of her child, only silence.
She can only see pieces of her baby's heart on the floor.
She can't move, even though she need to.
As they come through, what left of her door.
Screaming let's go, let's go. She screams no more no more.
she has nothing left, as they robbed her of her soul.
and left everything she knows in that huge deep hole.
