Little Angel

I want to fix you but I can't

I want to put you back together so that every part of you works properly

But I can't and I don't want to accept that

I'd rather live in denial in hopes of the impossible becoming reality

But I know that just isn't so

This new reality is one I'm hiding from

I don’t want it

I can't own it.

≈≈≈

I don't want to see you this way

It brings tears to my eyes

I feel helpless

I feel alone.

≈≈≈

But you are still alive

You are here with me

I can hug you

I can kiss you on the nose

I can hear you breathing

I can do my best to keep you alive.

≈≈≈

But sooner or later I must accept what I don't want to accept
