At 22:00 she would come out looking for him Would call out his name and eventually find him by the sandbox or the slide and would dust him off a bit and take him home and feed him As she’d put him to bed she’d kiss his face, sometimes his mouth and he’d ask, “Why did you do that?” and she’d reply, “I don’t know. But did you like it?” And he’d either nod or say yes, knowing that it’ll make her smile and then she’d cuddle with him until he’d fall asleep and whisper in his ear that she always wanted to have a little boy just like him and that he was making her unbelievably happy just by existing in the same room with her She was the best neighbor he could have dreamed of She gave him all the attention his mother gave to her bottles and her guy friends and everyone was very happy
a very happy neighborhood

A masterpiece poem manifested by a great poet
materialized to pefection of an intimate uncut gem of love!

(っ◕‿◕)っ Why, thank you very much.
It’s about a disturbing kind of love though. The type that marks people later in life, I’d say

Maybe the dark truth has to do with that woman practically taking some random child into her home and doing rather inappropriate things to him…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well that is one way of reading it, then there could be just the compassionate side or a woman who can’t have a child….etc.

Good day everyone, my name is Anthony and I’m here to testify about the good things God has done for me through Dr Williams.I was diagnosed of Herpes for about ten years and I have been to so many hospital but nothing could be done .I spent thousand of dollars going to hospital all to no avail.Last month I went to Germany for an official trip.while in the train,I heard a man talking on phone about how he got cured with herbal medication by Dr williams and I laughed knowing how much I have spent on medical appointment so I thought it was incurable but something told me to try the herbs and I had to take Dr williams number from him.I contacted Dr Williams, he sent me the herbs and to God be the glory ,Herpes of ten years plus is completely gone .Please for your own safety you can reach him on his whatsapp number and I assure you, you will be free within two weeks. His herbs are superb and can cure any kind of diseases like Cancer,Ulcers,HIV/Aids and so on .I have tested it and I’m a living witness .His whatsapp number is +447404853451

When I read this, I understood it’s meaning. I was stunned. This is a unorthodox topic to discuss in a poem. But I will say that while it may not be palatable for most, it is extremely well written and very thought provoking. 🤨
