laughter ringing in her eyes
her smile promises love and life
beyond discretion
wait, her lungs cry out
oppressed by image
clear to everyone but herself
blurring her sweet eyes with fire
tears carve my heart out
eating like maggots at its flesh,
one two, one two
my arms reach to hold her
but she's not there,
her tiny fingers shaking,
her body stiff, eyes open but unseeing
dead, or wanting, I'm not certain
one two, one two
