everything fades, even the sun when it gets tired at night
sure its still there
but we cant see it
because its shining for someone else

if you took all the pieces i gave you
organized them and looked at the bigger picture
you’d see how much i lost
not because you asked me to
but because i thought tearing myself down and adding it to you
would fix you
and you would love me

About the Creator
The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
