Memories

I remember.
I remember when i was young.
I remember when you were sick.
So, so sick.
I remember the smell of the hospital.
I remember that during that time the only thing we had was the thought of you.
The memories of you.
I remember that i held on to that.
Like it was what feuled me.
And it was.
I remember when you got better.
You were slightly fractured but i didnt care.
I remember that things were good.
Things were okay.

But it's getting bad again.
You arent sick in the body.
It's your mind that's poisoned.
And i dont have the cure.
You're slipping from my fingers.
Like clay, the harder i hold you, the faster you fall away.
You're just a shadow of who you were and it kills me.
I want to pick up your pieces and put you back together.
But i can't.
You dont want to be fixed.

Now it's like we're only holding onto a memory of you.

And like you, memories fade.
