Inconsolable Child

Her voicelessness always scared me. 

As she could only cry for the longest time. 

And I could tell that in that little mind-

She had some sort of pain that my softest whispers could never cure. 

The doctors all said she was simply too attached. 

But really, I felt I could never connect. 

Even though we both tried. 

But we were both so tired from crying.

Here on earth but with memory of heaven, there seems for soul, no safe haven
