PetName

She used to call her by a pet name

She was not a tot anymore 

Could play n dance around on her toes

Could collect things she liked

Could make mess mischieviously


She used to call her by a pet name

some times she just needed to see her

While cutting the vegetables 

Or doing the washed clothes 

Or watching outside recklessly


One day she lost her

Then she bravely came down the stairway from sky

She knew that she was over there 

In that castle with long passages n hundreds of walls

She knew she could make it

She crossed some dangers on the way n reached the castle

But she got lost in between the passages n walls

White fairies with white hairs n white wings came

They dragged  their soft faces down to her big eyes

They talked in soft melodious voices as the real fairies do

They kissed her cheek n promised to help her to find her

They scrolled n they ran n they flew over n over in between the walls

They met many but her

She cried "no...no...no...its not her...they never can be...she is the most beautiful in heaven!!!"

She lost a hope almost

She was broken 

She was tired n dead almost

And then she found her inside four walls full of bloody roses n white feathers n crystal mages

She ran to her n hide her face in her white chiffon gown


She never knew that she forgot the pet name by then

N she would never recall those days

She was not a tot anymore 

Could play n dance around on her toes

Could collect things she liked 

Could make mess mischieviously

N could keep some secret
