Dawning Creations

Difficult as you are
I can’t bring myself
to think about your heart broken,
no longer beating

So many times
I’ve knelt low and cried

Begging and lamenting crying out, “Why?”

You’re curly blond hair
swallows your face as you dance
Your tiny brown eyes
glint when you’re silly
or ready for a fight

You’ve been set in your ways
all of your life

Darling, I know it hurts
but I know who you are

You’ve been fighting
a battle that isn’t yours
Mind over body
You survived
