I had you, precious thing, within my arms. 
But when I looked closer, you were not there. 

I searched, where did you go? 
Why did you leave?
I begged, could you come back, 
I beg you please.

I scanned with my eyes 
how they ached, 
they did not find. 

I strained with my ears, 
they did not care
for my piece of mind. 

I asked my brain, I begged, 
it told me soft, as gently as it could. 

Dear child, do not worry,
and please do not resist, 
For your precious thing, 
Your precious thing, 
It never did exist.
