Daddy

Daddy, mummy, we want you to stay with us, till the very last.

Waking up to tears on my face,

Every single night,

The sobbing that I couldn’t control clearly showed,

I had cried for quite some time,

The process kept repeating for the whole week,

I was very afraid to go to this terrifying sleep land,

Where nightmares ran through my dream.

 

In every single dream, you left me behind.

I was so helpless,

I probably couldn’t survive,

All on my own.

However, survival was the last thing on my list.

You didn’t want me.

I kept yelling, “Daddy, why are you doing this to me?”

You said “I am sorry. I need to do this. You are going to be okay.”

And I knew I was NOT going to be alright.

I just kept weeping and weeping.

And you kept going further and further away from me.

I stared at your back.

I didn’t know what to think, what to do.

I probably just wanted to have a good look at you one more time.

So that, I wouldn’t forget you.

And then, you disappeared from my sight.

 

Dream, dream,

I am now leaving you behind.

 

Daddy,

I care about you and I love you.

But, I am not going to keep hurting myself.

I wish you will cherish what we have now.

Cherish our family.

another great and sad write!

This seems actually more a bit of prose than a story. It is very sad as well, the terrifying thoughts of a child left alone.
