"And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey
and the sun will set for you..." ~Linkin Park, Shadow of the Day.
The hospital walls,
They surround her,
all white,
no color, all pain.
The smell of death lingers
in the sheets
in the pillows
in the air
She can't escape fast enough
But there was a reason she was there,
to say something of love
to help someone along
to say goodbye
To a life she'd known.
