Two of Us
Date unknown, Ancient Asia
Soft eyes are unsmiling now.
Will you not open your precious eyes?
Your small hand has no resistance.
Kitten. Do not play a game.
Sweet heart.
Sweet sugar.
Laying my cold cheek to your cold cheek.
Empty.
Resist the cold, dear one.
Be warm again.
Leaning over your cherub face,
I watch over you peacefully.
Frozen crystals in your hair.
Frozen tears on your face.
I will keep you warm.
You do not have to do anything.
Trust in me. I am strong.
For you, I am anything.
Do not leave me alone.
I will not ever leave you alone.
