What Once Was
Inside, so warm and loved
cherished from day one
joy filled the heart and spilled over
a cup overflowed
Every moment was happiness
all new experiences
all new delights
even new pains
every bit was a level of adoration
But everything could go wrong and that it did
once where there was love and excitement
was now pain and fear
crimson was the color
and loss was it's game
There was no stopping it
and no sign of warning
it came rapidly
quick as a thought
and more terrifying than a monster
with eyes glowing red
skin of darkness
razors for teeth
smiling at it's prey
Tears fall
with them making a river of suffering
so close to death but not dying
a tiny soul was taken
away from inside
to never exist again
Now this vessel is barren
as a tundra
with no warmth
no rejoice
only agony and longing
Memories never to be made
emotions never to be felt
only the bitter taste
of what once was
my little angel
