Thirty-seven

He lifts my soul out of its empty shell

My tears left on my final resting place

Arms of ice wrapped around me

I never thought it would be so calm

I float above the world, even though he is carrying me

I promise not to cry

I promised not to miss everything I leave behind

But I do

My limp fingers reach out to the body behind me

I see the other children like me

Covered in wires and hooked up to machines

The beat never loses its rhythm

Beep

Beep

Beep

But sometimes

The beeping stops

My beeping stopped

My heart was empty

People in the same clothing

Take away my carcass

My mother standing there, holding onto what's left of her baby girl

My father's arm wrapped around my brother, both knowing that he's the only one left

I promised I wouldn't miss them

But I do

And as the doors open

To the new world I'm about to enter

I see my grandfather

I see my great-grandmother

I see my dog

I see my uncle

I see my cousin

They reach out to me

The clouds open

The world is below me

I am with god

Death welcomes me

It's over
