Uinme.

Chef Knight.My sweet so dear brief
we had your eyes and ears short
your smiles cries tears... I remember
the day you stood near. Just and
outlined against the wall peering in
thru air at what couldn't be. UinMe.

Never told no, never said to myself so
but that day before we knew, I saw
your halo. "I wanna play" I heard you
say, yes, I did.

Torn away like a strike of a match
as fast as that overnight from delight
to fright, we got the call. "...sick and
at the hospital..."

Crashing down like waves of water
colored less without your laughter
deeper still the drowning thunder
standing chill as they eased you under.

Into Earth we returned you. Wake
of Night in candles we mourned you.
Under seas of shattering winds we
spoke your name as they pushed
aside blinds and inside the rain came.

I'm sorry I never returned. So
long ago but forever remains in
my eyes will be the memory of our
lives. I was frighten to confirm
that what I saw that playful day
was your SOL to slip away...

I'm sorry that I never came.
I just didn't want to know
that I knew it again.Back then.
