The child coughed as he felt his heart hammer away in his chest. He stared at the window and saw a beautiful lady in a black dress come down from the window. She smiled at him as she knelt by the bed. Softly she whispered, it’s time Henry. She moved her gray hair out of the way as she carried Henry. He looked to the bed and saw himself lying there sleeping. He looked at her puzzled, what about my mommy? She looked at him and smiled sweetly as they started to float to the clouds. Don’t worry Henry, she said kissing his forehead, i’ll come back for her soon.

Answer love, just once; was I enough?
And if your answer’s no, then let me fall.
My love, it may abound but broken at that sound,
At last, a deep reprieve; my heart will crawl.

Still woken from my sleep, I find your soul.
Haunting, sweet; my weeps are wanting more.
For memories abound, just let my heart reach out,
And touch what once was yet now is gone.

My love, your stare again has turned aloof.
Your smile’s surely missing, you ask for proof?
Idyllic heart, we once wore upon our sleeve,
Has shattered; million pieces, that I alone am left to weave.

For this, I know and this alone, though time may pass and hurt may grow;
Forever and always to me, you are, still very lovable.

What’s the way into your daydreams?
How to be that word in silence, the one that always makes your heart scream.

Can you learn it without guidance?
Can I be your one true virus? The one that plagues all your thoughts.
The one that makes your heart stop.
Tell sweetheart if I can, tell me I can your man.

In my mind, your face is drawn, painted as the paragon.
And in your arms I must belong, that’s why the Muses sing my song.

Though your heart I long to win, to force your love would be a sin.
So like Astrophil gazed on his star, I’ll learn to love you from afar.
I won’t be careless with your heart, the way most men usually are.

For treasures here on Earth abound, yet I’ve found none that match the sound,
Of your laughter and your voice, or the beauty of your poise.
The cause of pain or all my joys, rest on the words that make your choice.
