Hduhi

Hduhi the little one

With eyes that enthrall

They saw them everyday

But never saw them fall

Far beyond their reach

Hduhi the little one

Captured by Mirror’s lies 

A crack where there once was none

Held their bright eyes

Imperfect and free

Hduhi the little one

Who took baths in Sorrow’s elixir

Tears from their own eyes

With no one who could fix xir 

From the inside

Hduhi the little one

Pained by Life’s torments

Tried to run and tried to hide

But couldn’t escape laments

Of loved ones long gone

Hduhi the little one 

So very small and sad

If you had seen what they had seen

You wouldn’t be quite so glad

As you are now

Hduhi the little one 

Took it upon themself

To mend your broken heart

And tend to the dusty shelf

That contains all your memories 

Hduhi the little one 

Carries you inside

And whispers to you in the dark 

Soft and gentle lullabies

To rock you sweetly to sleep

Hduhi the little one 

Has always been so bright 

But an affectation, nothing more

To keep you from Pain’s blight

Horrible and never healing 

Hduhi the little one

You thought they were made of light

But didn’t you forget one thing

Empty space shines as bright

From stars a million miles away

Some so very cold

Hduhi the little one 

Is so sad and so very small

But they hope you know one thing

They love you, love you all

Even in the dark

Hduhi the little one 

Has been hurt a thousand times

But they forgive you

And your painful lies

Even as they cry
