I sit and type
My fingers floating above keys
before words and sentences are created
A story is born
An empty page becomes full of text
and yet I still feel the same

Alone

I write to escape reality.
But I end up creating different prisons for myself
Each one has the one thing I want

And I fear
that I am never going to get it
Everyone deserves unending love

But




Me
I sit and wait

wait with a heart full of hope
wait for a miracle to happen
wait to see if life can be beautiful

But I have been here before
waiting for others to decent those steps
and lift me off my feet
but no one did

I waited for you
hoped and prayed that you would come
hoped that what we had was real
and not just a figment of my imagination

I waited ever after you said no.

still hoping for a tiny spark of hope


Now I wait again
praying that for once I can gaze upon your face once more
and finally, get to feel your touch

I want to know how sweet your lips are
and how silly you look when you snore
I want to cherish the small moments that mean nothing to you.

but to me

they hold the little bit of happiness I'll experience in life

so I sit and wait
for the chance, I can meet the person who has saved me from


myself
Once a breath is given
it is celebrated

Once a breath is taken
it is mourned

However, the time between the first and the last
is nothing at all


looked at with pride or greed
some sorrow and pain

each making history is someone's life

Yet here we sit
reading words
feeling another's emotion

but what if
this flood of words



just


stopped?
Her screams are silent
Terror fills her mind
Each day makes her fear the next

The doctors only make it worse
only agreeing to one thing
and none can fix it

Genetics made her special
and now it's becoming her downfall
Each day is worst than the last

No one can see the pain
nor will they ever notice how it affects her

She's a little liar
hiding her pain from the world
and not telling a soul what's going on


"I'm Fine."
the perfect lie
to make them stay away


She enters her prison once again
and isolation takes her
as she stands in the crowd
Another lie
with a perfect smile

She hides so well
under the spotlight

Her world crashes around
as she dances free

No one can see
the tears she hides

Under pressure
Beaten down

   The one happiness
     is slowly killing her now

          She's such a liar
            hiding under that smile

               as her wold shatters
                 right under her

                              and then



                                                               she falls
A seed for my smiles
A tear for my sarrows

maybe one day
the trees will grow
My dear child
your breath was small
and yet so perfect
you looked at the world with amazement
and it welcomed you with open arms

You were perfect as time itself.

But soon your lungs became weak
and your breathing stopped
Our miracle was gone
just as the hope we had for you

Shattered on the tile floor
just like tears of glass
We loved you
and watched you leave this world

A stone has your name in it now
and one day, when time comes for us
we'll see how much you've grown
and how much beauty
you didn't show us yet

Happy birthday my daughter.
Inspired by a story I heard from a parent losing their daughter the same day they said hello.
