As I dotted polka dots
I hoped for the best
I wished they could heal you
When nothing could

Orange construction paper
Countless markers
I bunched them in my fists
As the paper became speckled

I made it at school
After the visit
Sent it immediately
Hoping it would make it

My family took a trip
To that old wood cabin
The wonderful place
You had called home

One milkshake
My gift to you
I smiled so big
As I gave it to you

I had no clue
You couldn't smile back
Or grab that cup
That was when I knew

The lady that layed there
My beloved Aunt
Wasn't the woman I knew
It just wasn't you

I felt the sadness
Of everyone in the room
The held back their tears
For me and for you

As I looked into your eyes
When I touched your hand
I knew that moment
Was our last

My parents held me
Between them
In their bed
May 3rd, 2010

The day my life changed
A new guardian angel
Confused once again
Why you?

When I walked into the funeral
The first thing I saw
Were those polka dots
On my orange card

When I aged I learned
That bright orange card
Made it a couple days late
I fell apart
