The Sadness in His Eyes

In the kitchen, candles gleam, A birthday cake, a childhood dream. Four years young, eyes wide with glee, But fate had other plans, you see. Oh, the sadness in his eyes, As we watched the cake demise. But love's embrace will see us through, Happy birthday, dear, we're here for you. The oven's hum, the scent so sweet, But disaster struck, a cruel defeat. A slip of hand, a careless sway, The cake toppled down, colors astray. Oh, the sadness in his eyes, As we watched the cake demise. But love's embrace will see us through, Happy birthday, dear, we're here for you. A scream, a gasp, hearts sunk like stone, As frosting splattered, dreams overthrown. No time to rescue, no chance to save, In mere seconds, hopes turned to grave. Though just a cake, its loss profound, In his young heart, an echo resounds. For in this moment, he learns a truth, Life's sweetness, tinged with bitter proof. And as he knows, a shadow looms, A reminder of the cake's cruel doom. His laughter fades without a trace, In a world where joy is erased. turned to grave.
