i was sitting in the darkest corner
with my knees wrapped against my breasts
and my head lowered
to hide my scorching tears 
burning down my cheeks
then he suddenly came in
with a voice so beautiful so new
caressing my mind with his words
so lightly so gentle
i said i was sad
too sad to live
he walked on air towards me
and carried me from that corner
the corner where i find refuge
he carried me as if i was a feather
delicately light
lifted me up a flight of spiraling silver staircase
his feet never touched the steps
silently sweet
i closed my tear-filled eyes
felt his soft wings between my fingers
wrapped my arms around his neck
holding him tight
resting my head on his shoulder
buried my face in his neck
not wanting him to leave
we reached the last step
i opened my eyes and
saw a clear silver castle
standing majestically on a cotton candy cloud
my eyes glowed with happiness
i looked into his eyes
he looked into mine
then gave me a honey's kiss
he carried me into the fairy tale castle
lowered me to the mirror floor beneath us
standing face to face
he then wrapped his arms around me
and mine around him
tightly we held each other
joyful tears trickled down my face
an everlasting promise he promised
whispered lovingly into my ear
"you will never be sad again
i promise you with all my heart
you never have to feel alone
i will always be here with you
for an eternity
we will be together forever
i promise."
