One day I'll say goodbye

One day I'll say goodbye

One day his final breath will be drawn before my eyes
A final pucker of his lips to capture his dragon dummy
A final grasp of his fingers to caress his favourite bag
One last reaching for his toy syringe 

His smile etched upon my eyes

His laughter echoing in my ears

His delicious smell, his cold little hands, his stomping feet

All his little noises; with me to my grave

One sad and brutal day, my son's eyes will close tight one last time in front of me

On this day, my heart will be rended, my soul; crucified

I'll see him off with a final kiss on his cheek
I'll say goodbye
