fade quiet

she crawls to ebony corners

where two join one

sweet cocoon

while tiny fears

fade quiet

in her dark.



that's where she is

when he brings fire

torching beautiful

while she rains

hot tears

on tired feet.



but, she loves him

for all the good

things unseen.

clumsy little girl

falls down

and wears bruise.



"oh please! for me!"

not time to cry

he assures

"it's not me!"

crushing petals

pressed to soul.



time to go now

it's gonna be fine.

momma saves

little girl things

spilled as

words from heart.



finds her peace now

saved in dark corners

free from

words that hurt

and eyes

that break dreams.
