• My darling,
    You bloom like an edelweiss flower in the morning spring dew.
    You are the endless flowing river, new
    And always changing, yet still holding onto the same source of water.

    Spread your wings high,
    And fly like a bird into the open sky.
    You are not the midnight moon, but the striking brightness seeping from it.

    You have the sweetest intentions, filled with wholeness and love like a pocket
    Of the velvety dark chocolate.
    In the whole world, nothing can compare.

    Time has passed, we both grow old,
    Together and happily, I suppose.
    But now, what has happened?
    Your petals have fallen,
    Your river has stopped flowing,
    Your wings are broken.

    So cliche, but oh-so-close to the truth.
    The moon doesn’t shine anymore, and instead glares mockingly my way,
    And no more loving words reaches my burned, bled lips.

    You have taken nothing but everything,
    My happiness, emotion, and all that was once so pleasing.
    And so my heart is left abused and empty.

    My darling child.
    Here you are, and here am I.
    Together with you in my arms like we were once when you were born.
    And though the tears swell in my heart, my eyes are dry,
    It is now our time to say good-bye.
