Final Touch

You

Sea you

Bee you

Noone can love you better than you do. 
 

True

 To look so pretty

The way that you are

I know you are nice

 I'll bet you are smart 

Your voice is soft and pretty

And you sound so giggly true

And when I grow up I'll be just like you

When I hear you laughing

 And then you come around

 I want you to laugh again

So I can hear the sound.

Final Touch

The blunt force of touch

Broken limbs and such

Softness bleeding still

From violent human appeal.

I open my eyes

All is quiet and still

No one even notices

That I'm still here.

Waving my arms

They no longer feel torn

My cries went un-heard

As my eyes filled with tears.

As I watched I felt loved

Then I floated away

No more pain or sorrow

After this final day.

Untitled

Little girl nine

What's on your mind

Looks of neglect

Sorrow and grime.

Have you no mother

Or one who cares

I know who I'll call

My husband is sheriff.

Many years later

We pack all your things

Your going away to college

And you're only sixteen.
