Bitter Memories

Garish thoughts invade her mind. Venerable memories escort her back to that day. She holds her breath and visits the petrified reflections she has, for so long, kept reverently hidden in the dark treasures of her soul.

She wishes they had just been a fitful nightmare, but reality is etched across each thought.

Mournfully she watches as confusion and heartbreak dance with sorrow and pain. She recalls how her reality shattered, her world fell apart.

He was everyone's everything, but he was not there anymore, only his flesh and bones remained.

Daddy chose to leave, Daddy chose to go home.
