I watched you glow as he fed you 

Abdomen engorged 

Promises; candy coated words 

.

.

He fattened you up 

Rosie cheeked 

Arms stuffed full of flower petals 

.

.

Honey vibrato 

To ingratiate himself with your pitter patter heart 

.

.

He molded himself into every dream you ever wished for 

He decapitated every monster you ever lived  with 

.

.

He woke you from your nightmare 

And he gave you something to live for 

.

.

Why then, do you start to feel like something is still missing? 

Like promises are empty 

Smiles hollow 

.

.

Why then, is there no warmth between your fingertips 

Or fire in your soul ?

.

.

In the end, 

You do not know 

.

.

In the end, 

You have to let the the dream of him go 

.

.
