her eyes are bright blue

Growing up

Well, only I was growing up at the time...

but

Growing up

I remember watching my younger sister slowly lose herself

not all at once

but in pieces, no one else seemed to notice

~

She was slowly losing her hair

her body grew frail

her skin turned pale

her body was trying to leave

but her eyes... refused to go with it

~her eyes were bright blue~

with fragments of green

her eyes still held the universe

even when her body felt like it was collapsing into nothing...

~

I begged time to slow down

but I saw a universe learning to say goodbye...

she died... but those eyes, remained somewhere secretive

Those eyes stopped showing me the future

and started showing reflections of everything I was about to lose

but not forever~

~

No matter how much it took from her,

it would never learn how to take her from me

I want her to know that I don't remember a girl who lost all her hair and had a version of her being stolen away

I remember her as the little girl

bright blue eyes

with fragments of green

who believed

she would grow up

and be something

beautiful~

~

When I gave birth to my first child at twenty-seven

My daughter opened her eyes

her eyes are bright blue

with fragments of green

She came back to me~
