Powerless Will your cold heart ever begin to thaw?Will it ever stop seeingwhat had gone before? Powerless andFrozen in timeRobbed of dignityA heinous crime Retribution or retaliationan impossible taskLady justice She wears the mask The ghosts from your pastStill hidden from viewNever knowing, just guessingWhat you went through Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing ©Word Prompts:JusticeThawPower
