softened
unhinged child_elegance


i think it is something that will flash before my eyes when i am about to die. the way her eyes softened when she noticed the tears in mine. the childish yet complete way she tried to erase them by covering my eyes with her little hands. the way she resisted me pulling her close to hide my tears from her, but insisted on trying to erase them with her little hands. the way his even younger eyes softened too when he witnessed the spectacle and climbed on my other leg to give me a hug.

my sister's children came at just the right time in my life. they helped soften all the hate i used to carry around for myself.
