Dream #2: Again I dreamed...

Again
I dreamed you were a child again

Dreamed
you depended on me for everything

I was your parent
I
not your daddy or mommy
I was your parent

You put your tiny hand in mine
as we were walking down some steps
slowly
easy does it
take your time
and then you fell
and you cried
and I died
for a second
then I tore into you
searching for signs
you could be broken

You laughed
You thought it was funny
I was angry
but I didn’t want to yell at you
like your mommy always does
like my mommy always does
I was your parent
