My brow curly angel my Lillian with eyes that shine like the first star in twilight. My blond sweetheart my Liam with eyes that burn like a sunrise on a winter day They sit, with unseen bond, and watch as lights flicker and reflect on their eyes. “Go! Diego Go!” Liam bounces. Lillian’s lavish lashes fall, lackadaisical she holds her doll and recites “Mommy made me mash my M&Ms;” Liam can feel the bond, weakened, and teases her, lovingly, “The lily-licking frog licked Lillian!” she squeals and holds her doll tight Frightened, he drives his sister out. I smile, and hold them both, Lillian’s escape postponed. Liam falls into me, but my angel, she slips away smiling laughing and then it hits. Water trickles down my cheeks, salty with defeat, as we dress in black. I have failed, my angel, and I have lost you, Forever. I long for your Love your Warm giggle your Bright eyes. My hope for happiness is Shattered as you fall out of reach and out of sight. Why hadn't I insisted? Why didn't I keep you safe? Now my sweetheart is lost, connection broken, he watches his sister disappear under Earth.
