Fictional

——————

Her soft small body

Laying against mine

The booms of thunder overhead

Her eyes watery, scared

I sang to her

Her tears beginning to dry

I stroke her back

Her breath evening

I couldn’t move

I wouldn’t

I always wanted her near

Her soft small body

Eyes closed

For the night

I stand slowly

And run outside

My arms outstretched

Looking out into the sky

She came out

Huddled against me

And she gives me a kiss

I could never forget
