Opened my eyes
To see yet be unseen
Opened my eyes to see you angel
The dark outline of brow and lash
Came crashing into my consciousness
As I awoke from a dreamless slumber
In a place full of people
Emptied by your presence
The apex of a nose so noble
Dark hair gathered tightly behind
A perfect head
Gold wristwatch appears pale
Against a skin more golden
Cupid lips
Pink and lush
Sure to start a rush of blood
Not to mention adrenaline
Focussing my attention
On the cool exquisite aura
Of your presence
Meant to be distant
Aloof
Proof you are unattainable
And I unable to break the spell
And tell you how
You have made me feel
Made my thoughts reel
Inspired me to lay bare my soul
Inadequate in this
Clumsy

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.
