she wasn’t everything i wasn’t.she was sun warmed skin, dew on the grass, the chirp of birds in the early morning.
she was everything to everyone.
while i only welcome the out of time into cold arms. i am the dark and the bitter.
she was everything i wanted, yet could never have.

she was everything i wanted, yet could never have.
it was a balmy night, rain came down in whispers, light but with heavy drops. like the sky itself was crying.
many would cry this night.
somewhere in the dark a dog whined.
the lights of the hospital were harsh, insensitive. the halls were sterile, sneaker scuffs marring the tile.
i drifted down these halls. they reminded me of myself. so much death happened within these walls, i’m very familiar with every room, every corner, every scratch.
much life came about too, but that’s never something i payed attention to, unless i came to take it.
like tonight.
i rounded the final corner and came upon the nursery, the door already ajar.
i sensed her before i saw her. she stood above one of the cradles, her soft glow dancing on the walls, creating shadows on the floor.
“life,” i said, leaning against the doorframe. “what are you doing here?”
her eyes shot up to meet mine, green like leaves in the springtime. “you can’t take him. i wont let you.” her fingers trailed over the rapidly graying skin of the newborn in the cradle.
“you know that’s not how it works.”
those emerald eyes dropped, the glow seeming to dim. “i know…” she whispered, bending to scoop the babe into her arms, as if that would protect him from his impending demise.
i took a step toward her. “life, give me the child.”
she shook her head. “just…just give me a second.” i could hear the brokenness in her voice. this would always be hard for her, no matter how many die, she would mourn every single one.
she held the baby closer to her heart whispering in his ear words that i couldn’t make out.
“life,” i took another step toward her, as close as i could get. “the child.”
sorrowfully, regretfully, she placed the babe back in his cradle. i picked up his spirit, laying dead in my arms.
i turned on my heel and stepped out of the room, pretending not to hear life’s sobs.
little did she know, i would cry more than the sky this night, and every night. forever.
