I can barely breathe
It's hot and sweaty and painful
My heart is racing
I'm not ready for this.
Children are not meant to be hurt.
They are meant for snow angels and bursting giggles
Small hands that fit perfectly into my shaky palms
She's bruised and broken
There's nothing I can do.
My sweet little baby,
My hurt sweet little baby.
Never say you'll never hurt someone
You might without even meaning to
And that is what you can never take back
It's what you can not live with
And what you can not sleep with
Nightmares
Tossing
Turning
Screaming...
It's replaying in my mind over and over
No, things like this are not supposed to happen
