Her Baby Girl

"Try not to weep as I say my last goodbyes.."


Her love.. it vanished.

She took a moment 

to look at her first baby girl 

and her mind was set straight. 


As if I were a leaf

struck by lightning turned into crumbs

of burnt nibbles.


In her eyes, 

I was a perfect jewel

that rusted into a cheap, useless bronze metal.


What could she do other than to toss me

on aside

and away?


I have been mistreated

by my only flicker

of hope..


But she remains nothing

but a restless

stranger to me.
