My little elf has grown up - and I let go of him slowly so he can fly without me. Sleep tight, my little one. Mama loves you and is watching over you. 

Sometimes you hurt so much

The pain so searing

The tears dry before you shed them

Sometimes you wonder

Why relationships are so fragile

Just a word and they shatter

Into splinters that pierce you

Leaving you bleeding

Sometimes you wonder 

How you live on

Sometimes you wonder

Why you live on

Sometimes the silence screams..

The unspoken words

That float between us

hurts more that they would have

If spoken aloud

Sometimes I reach out for you

And all I get is emptiness

Sometimes you reach out

And all I give you is pain

Two beings

Stuck in a web

Trying to find a way out

But getting entangled 

Is this life, you ask?

And the answer you get is silence...
