Caiden
Location
Pitter Patter on the floor
Tiny hands examine the cracked and worn door
Tiny hands grab hold of my flustered heart and input fragmented memories
A burst of light in the dark
Explode out of my soul and into my lungs
"Caiden"
You, all milk chocolate curls, spilled silk onto my hands
All warm caramel skin, smooth butter against my chest
You, all questioning doe eyes
All gurgling laughter of colored crystal chimes
You, taken from me by the rising of the sun
Sharp knives of monotonous reality tear at my skin and declare my bliss done.
The smell of lukewarm milk and innocence wafts out of my window
Replaced by a single heartbeat, Al-one Al-one Al-one
Scorching tears envelope a pulsating new ache
For an angel, agonizingly not mine to take
A spiritual lifeline ripped
One cry torn out of my throat and onto my lips
"Caiden"
