Emotionless

I looked at my son lying lifelessly on the floor.

An abomination had occurred.

I went on my knees and tried to cry but I couldn’t.

A child had died before his mother.

Oh! I was emotionless!

The child I brought forth into this world have left before me.

Looking at his face closely as this would be the last time I’d see his handsome face.

I was supposed to be in pain.

Oh! I was emotionless!

‘Witch: she used her child for ritual’.

I could hear them whisper behind my back.

Stones were thrown at me from different angles.

But I shed no tear.

My heart was as hard as a rock.

Oh! I was emotionless!
