and there he wasn’t

there he was
brightly shining
the apple of my eye
none other
possessed the heart
of his mother
day by day
smiling as he struggled
through his pretend
he was there
and there he wasn’t

and then that day he lay
so still before us
passed into a coldness
where our warmth
could not reach him
there he was
and there he wasn’t

and now the smile
of his eyes
in a blink of love
crumple guarded
on five by seven
real enough to be
breathing but paper thin
as if we dreamed him
there he was and there
he wasn’t

jellybeans,
    Your writing is so beautiful.  I wish I had the abilities to give life through the
five by seven.  I feel the ache and the love.  Wishing you well.

so touching....

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
