Perfect children

I held her hands

Hoping she will guide me through this journey

I watched her

Watched her intently watching me

Letting me go as my soul faded

I longed for a hug but she slipped through

Were these the lessons learnt?

Vaguely captured under the umbrella of good intent?

Mama, my secrets are but sealed

Never again will they whisper

For your love is fragile

Holding me only when I'm intact
