Dear little girl

Little girl in the mirror
I just wanted you to know
Our nightmare is over…
The devil is gone

There is no more need to
To lie awake listening to the fighting in order to run
To
Save mommy

I remember those nights of fear…
The devil in all his shades of red
The screams of hell
His scrawny hands squeezing the breathe out of her
It was always so odd though,
How he would be afraid of the angel that would come down to rescue her…

He would always turn white….

Dear child
You are trapped no more
Move on from this mirror
You are no longer chained to me

As I look in the mirror
Tears fall down my face
Wee hours of the night
Dear little girl
We will be great!

Very very touching writing.
I love the sensitivity of this piece.

So good!!

Eric

the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of reality though not beheld
