I see it around every corner
Every decision that I make
It lingers in the corner of my eye
Keeping me awake
No one else can see it
I am completely on my own
It knows I cannot fight it
It smiles and follows me home
It comes out when the lights are off
And everyone's asleep
It taunts me in the corner
My peace of mind it keeps
It whispers in my ear at night
When I try to drift away
It stalks me in my sleep
And it haunts me in the day
I see it in the faces
Of strangers that I meet
It has the upper hand
And still it likes to cheat
I feel it touch me when I'm resting
It's cold and full of dread
If I don't find a way to fight it
It will take me from my bed

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
