Tiny Dancer At Rest

Tiny Dancer At Rest

My fists hit the wall

I scream out in pain

You would think I was missing

A part of me, lost in vain

 

 

The anger runs deep

The bitterness flows

I can't seem to think

Memories beckon to me so

 

 

I dream not of what was

I often imagine what could of been

I grind my teeth, distraught

Will you come back to me again?

 

 

The emptiness I feel

Over yet over I fall

I hear your tiny cry

Echoing in these walls

 

 

I walk past the doorway

Where you would have played

I see the nursery empty

I am haunted by that day

 

 

I had to wipe away the tears

Again yet again I sob

I revisit all of my fears

The moments that were robbed

 

 

I refuse to let you die

Your memory forever stays

Years from now I'll look back

And still remember that day

 

 

Goodnight our baby girl

Dance upon the skies

Please know that when we miss you

There will be tears that fall from our eyes

 

 

You are loved so much

You're our tiny dancer at best

If only given just one touch

Perhaps I could have then allowed you rest
