Reminiscence

Poor darling, 
I want to take away your pain 
You’re so young 
Yet you’ve seen so much, 
Done so much, 
Hurt so much. 
Poor darling, 
I want to make you whole again 
So that you won’t have to cry 
You won’t have to hurt 
Or be numb inside. 
Poor darling, 
What did you do 
To deserve this retaliation of karma? 
Were you just born 
Into the wrong family? 
Poor darling, 
I want to take you 
And make you part of my family 
I want to hold you 
Until you don’t hurt anymore, 
Until the numbness goes, 
And your smile reaches your eyes.

Poor Darling
