Let me tell you about

The pain I felt for a young woman murdered while running
So much pain I could barely breathe
My fingers constantly searching for news
I never knew this girl but my heart feels tremored as if I did
My tears fall thinking about small agonies that make it all the worse
What was she thinking of that last happy
That was last her
What was the last thing she bought
What song was on if there any
Before the devil came along
I feel horrific pain 
As a woman as daughter as a mother as a wife
It doesn’t matter what culture we are from or what colour we are
What matters is the whiteness or blackness in our hearts
Last Wednesday black met white and I was invade with sorrow 
All the way down here so different and so far 
But yet so close in pain 
I pray in my own way
To stop searching for the answer
