Comforting Sophie (taboo) [113]

Comforting Sophie

I can't leave her side;
Sophie's my eyes;
"Eternal Night"
they call me.

She whimpers and snuggles;
that's all I can do.
Her ears must hurt
more than mine.

Year after year,
the same celebration,
every July
until she died.

She's deaf now,
stuffed with cotton filling;
when I cannot sleep
she comforts me.
