My father holds the reaper’s hand at my bedside. It has a light grip, just as how he used to hold mine when I was a little girl. Your warm skin, the one that used to embrace me, is now cold and sends a shiver down my spine knowing what is to come. You showed me the beauty of the world, but now I watch the end of it, and it fades with you. Father, everything you’ve told me is written in my soul. I will go out and spread it, one by one. I wish that I could stop the sky from wanting.

A little girl's grief
My father holds the reaper’s hand at my bedside. It has a light grip, just as how he used to hold mine when I was a little girl. Your warm skin, the one that used to embrace me, is now cold and sends a shiver down my spine knowing what is to come. You showed me the beauty of the world, but now I watch the end of it, and it fades with you. Father, everything you’ve told me is written in my soul. I will go out and spread it, one by one. I wish that I could stop the sky from wanting.
