i. ring around the rosies

They left her bundles of flowers in her hospital room,

Beauties that made her sad.

Morphine had broken her twinkle,

and Chemo had taken her hair.

They told her she was beautiful,

but the person in the the too clean mirror told another story.

Hospital smells had broken her courage,

and test results had broken her future.

ii. pockets full of posies

Her friends come to visit her

she can smell their sadness

before they smiled,

and say everything is going to be

okay.

She loved their lies.

iii. ashes ashes

Nothing was "okay" anymore.

Her parents never left her bedside.

They still wondered how death dare steal their love.

They only cried when they thought she was sleeping,

But their cry's were something that

always woke her.

She began to despair,

each tear dug her deeper into the ground.

iv. we all fall down

The monitor flatlined at the same time,

her heart broke.

She was finally free

thought the world.

As every flower sighed

at her

         beautiful

                broken

                     body.

Ring around the rosies,

pockets full of posies,

ashes, ashes,

we all fall down.
