She Isn't Leaving

The last week has
been a grueling one.
Wondering if I'll lose her.
Wondering if I'm going
to die.

But....

My little girl still
sleeps in her nice warm
bed.
She still smiles and
laughs like she's
never heard anything
funny before.
She still caresses my
cheek when she
thinks I'm sad or upset.

She's still here.

Things didn't go so well
but she's still staying
with me.
They said they still know
she's safe with me.
I'm so happy she's still
here.
I already began to die
when I found out she could
be taken away.

After I found out she could
stay I went out and spent
$100 on toys and a
"Sophia the Princess" dress.
I couldn't be more happy.
Yet, I'm sad that it had to
came down to this. It
shouldn't have had to happen.

Maybe someday I'll fucking
grow up.
