Rebirth
I kiss your soft smooth head, finding the familiar grooves where our head rest together
 You slowly breath in and out
 Your once obese body is now merely bones
 Just last week everything was fine
 They said you were dying, but they said there was hope
 Hope is almost to good to be true
 The car ride was longest ride of my life
 While looking out the window I noticed a sprouting tree, thinking to myself it will never survive the winter
 Were pulling up into the driveway, fear strikes my stomach
 where will you go?
 will you feel better?
 This is the last time I will hold you in an embrace
 The last time, I will smell your familiar smell
 They inject the poison deep into your skin
 5,4,3,2,1
 your head slowly droops, and you are gone.
 Later, I think back to that one sprouting tree
 It reminds me of you, things die, but regrow again
