She holds me lovingly
in her arms
with laughter in her lungs
and life in her eyes.

Her voice is happy
and her hands are strong
her mind clean
her thoughts dry.

But then she is crying
her tears dark as night
all black
trails of death.

And then my eyes open
to black
night
BlackBlackBlack

Screams and cries
cries and screams.

I scream and cry
all my dreams
every hope
every wish
the last of my
broken dreams.
