Hazel Aurora

Such a beautiful name

She’s the angel of my dreams

Protecting me throughout the night

Soothing my pain and my doubts

Some nights she’s still a baby

I hold her close

It’s my job to keep her safe

Other nights she’s grown up

I’ll push her on the swings

She’ll laugh like her daddy

Scream ‘higher mommy higher’

I’ll give her under dog after under dog

Until she’s swinging on her own

No matter what age she is that night

She’ll always ask for her daddy

Where he is and what he’s like

Why he didn’t want to be around

Her biggest fear is it’s her fault

Hazel Aurora

She’s the angel of my dreams

The demon of my nightmares

She’s the last piece of my fairy tale life

The life that will never be
