Make-believe
February 15, 2016
Out of the darkness
You appeared
Once a wandering soul
Saw a little girl crying
All alone with nowhere to go
There you found your place
A small spot inside her heart
Next to The Velveteen Rabbit
And an old postcard
For seventeen years
You watched her grow
Not a single tear shed
Except from crows
But then came that night
One dreadful September
A rope held her tight
Until the Fates had cut her
Once again you enter the darkness
Struck by a sudden realization:
That you were not enough
You were merely an illusion
