oh
my heart is breaking
it is positively aching
with the weight of her tears
she is too young to know this
plumbing ever greater depths of grief
such dark and scary places
she leads me
this child of mine
she holds my heart in her hand
i blindly follow her
into darker
heavier
and altogether more
frightening
fields of despair
she leads me to where there is nothing left to hold onto
and then i have to find something to hold onto
for both of us
together we watch him on you tube
because she can't remember
what he sounds like
thank god for you tube
