There was a beauty
to her secure silence.
I came upon it the first day.
And I knew she had what to say.
She was the pretty girl.
with the black hair and large eyes.
Words would have betrayed
All those eyes wade.
---
There was so much innocence
in that silent face.
It made me doubt
what speech was about.
So many secrets were
displayed there.
More than a word astray
can actually betray.
---
I watched her
through hopeful eyes.
Wondering if she'd rise above
with the right amount of love.
She reserved a space
in my bleeding heart.
She was the sweat of my pursuit
The girl who's selective mute.

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.
