She sits in the rocking chair
steadily rocking, to and fro
She peers down into her arms
Knowing she won't ever let go
blowing gentle kisses
from her lips
She trails her hand lightly
over silken blankets
with over bitten fingertips
She dreams of lazy walks
in parks of sunshine
and reading little books
after bath at bedtime
She fantasizes about
golden hair and pretty skirts
about skipping time
and graduation
until it almost hurts
She completely breaks
with reality, testing faith
against mortality
She sits in the rocking chair
steadily rocking, to and fro
She peers down into her empty arms
Knowing she won't ever let go
