Between her toes

 Hidden between those cramped spaces,

Was all that one could imagine to bear.

While looking around at smiling faces,

Silently holding within until someone was near.


What could have been a soothing touch,

Seemed to be another puncture to the wound.

Horror filled eyes glanced at the wounded ones, 

Mirroring the horror, awareness seeped in to consume.


Fighting to not let go of that ever accompanying pain,

Losing it would feel like a nightmare.

But giving up this time will not go in vain,

As you lay in her lap strengthening the trust we shared.
