To the expiration!

Like a toddler,

Full of amazement

And wonder,

Of the moving vehicles,

structures on streets..

You turned your head,

This way and that

With gullible eyes,

Unaware of what

Waited in store

Towards your journey's end.

I am but an instrument

In bringing it

Closer to you.

Fragile and weak,

With trusting hands,

You accompany...

Only to be caged

Into another cell.

Briefly you are

Enjoying this excursion,

Such a brief one.

Oh how my gut hurts..

As if being sliced.

The very thought

Of your expression...

When you realize

You are being left

Behind and alone

Until you breathe last

Is a death sentence to me .
