She stared out from the corner,
Large, unblinking eyes.
She looked scared,
Frail yet somehow she was strong.
Her tired body looking so small against
The white sheets of the hospital bed.
All that was left of her hair was small orange tufts
Protruding out at strange angles.
Her pale skin, tired body
Caused by the chemo she had been put through.
Her strong mind had helped her this long.
Her body was what was going tolet her down.
As I watched from my bed on the other side of the room
The girl's -who's name I'll never know- body let up.
Her soul was now floating away.
Her body still here,
Cold and lifeless.
My eyes glistened
The nurses came and went
The bed was removed
Another put in its place
Guests come and go
I barely notice,
