Wretched creatures
Writhing, grasping
Gnawing to the bone
Desperation falls upon
Their souls mired in the chaos
Reaching, hoping
For the sun to rise
Another day
But alas, the night draws nigh
Bloodstained soil
Final breath
Fractured souls
Fade into the darkness
Until they are no more

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.
