GOODBYE SWEET CHILD OF MINE
dear child,
A VERDANT GRASSY FIELD WHERE WILD DAISIES LITTER ITS PERIPHERY - THAT IS WHERE MY CHILDHOOD LIES.
FATHER'S APPROVAL, MOTHER'S KISSES AND BROTHER'S GIGGLES,
EMOTIONS I WISH I HAD CAPTURED IN GLASS JARS LIKE FIREFLIES THAT LIGHT UP THE SUMMER NIGHTS.
PRETTY COBALT SKIES AND PATENT LEATHER SHOES WITH VELVET ROSES, PURE WHITE SATIN DRESSES WITH RIBBONS OF BLUE LACE AND NAVY GOSSAMER - SOFT WERE MY HANDS AS THEY CARESSED MY WORLDLY TREASURES.
SPINES BENDING SLIGHTLY UNDER PURPLE PRINCESS BACPACKS. TOOTHY SMILES SHOWING WHICH TEETH WERE NOW MISSING.
I BELIEVED THEM WHEN THEY SAID I'D GO PLACES I HAD ONLY DREAMT ABOUT. BUILDING CASTLES IN THE SKY ONLY TO KNOCK IT DOWN TO BUILD ANOTHER, MOULDING MY FANTASIES INTO LIFE. GONE ARE THOSE DAYS WHEN EVERYTHING I DID WAS DEEMED A MASTERPIECE WHEN IT WAS ONLY A SPLATTER OF PAINT I THREW SO CARELESSLY ON THE CANVAS NOT CARING ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS. NO REASON FOR ME TO SWALLOW YELLOW PAINT TO LIFT MY SPIRITS. TOXIC VAPORS NEVER WONDERED CLOSE TO CORRUPT MY INNOCENT LUNGS.
FATHER NEVER SMILES NO MORE, MOTHER'S GAZE IS AKIN TO PITY, BROTHER LOOKS SO ANGRY NOW AND MY HEART'S BEEN BROKEN TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT.
SWEET CHILD YOU SLEEP SO WELL BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOVED. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME AS I GAZE UNTO THE DARK YET STARRY NIGHT.
SLEEP WELL MY CHILD, THE WORLD IS A CRUEL PLACE AND I CAN ONLY HOPE TO PROTECT YOU TILL I CAN NO MORE. PLEASE SWEET GIRL LIVE YOUR LIFE DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. PROTECT YOUR HAPPINESS AND YOUR DREAMS. FORGIVE AND LOVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
GOODBYE DEAR SWEET CHILD OF MINE.
- earnestly yours.
