Mistaken diagnoses,

obscured behind years of pain and suffering.

A mother is dying on her child.

A father has broken sacred vows, and weeps.

Silence, eerie calm sits on my back,

tearing nerves in mass proportion.

A white shining angel has taken my mommy away.

Trace her silk with your fingertips; softly let her go.

Remember the destructive lies from your father’s twisted mouth.

Mistaken identities,

veiled behind memories of unwanted truths.

A child is crying for its mother.

A father has nothing left to give, and leaves.

Noise, brilliant sound spins around my ears,

spinning webs of mass destruction.

A black widow spider has taken my daddy away.

Trace the silk with your fingertips, soft as winter snow. 

Remember the porcelain tears from your mother’s glassy eyes.

 “I wish for you to love me, from birth to death to ground to ghost.”

 Broken.
