In a questioning dream
the darkness swallows my soul
i see her standing there among other children
terrified and so forlorn
my little baby
my angel, world and the sunshine that lights my day
Tears pour down her face as she questions why to the shadowed man
why he holds the line there
uncertain i try to lurch forward
i NEED to protect me baby
but am held by invisable ropes
Helpless i watch the shadowed man
he steps forward
touches a hand to her fae
I scream STOP
but my cries are scattered to the winds
than the unthinkable happens
BANG
My heart stops and my binds released
I fall to the ground beside my precious girl
screaming for her to wake
her beautiful honey eyes shall never see mine again
her laughter shall never brighten my day
never again will i wipe fingerprints from surfaces
my baby
my world
my light
I wake in a cold sweat
bolting up into the night
i race from my bed and into her room
not bothering to stop before bouncing onto her bed
she is alright, startled but alright
by now she is used to this
a tiny hand raises up to me
"It will be alright." She whispers as i cuddle beind her protectifully
And fade into the still night.
