Slipping through my fingers
“Slipping through my fingers”
The way her long curls would boing up and down when she skipped around
The way her face beamed when I took her hand into mine for the first time
The way her pink ribbon blended so well with her auburn hair
This reminded me of our favorite holiday together, “valentines day”
“Slipping through my fingers”
The way her long curls melded the floor when she sat in her chair
The way her face sparkled when I put a pink ribbon on my wrist to make her smile
The way her pink ribbon sat still as a statue on her bald head
This reminded me of the day we went to visit the statue of liberty together “new york day”
“Slipping through my fingers”
The way her head tilted when she shivered
The way her face dimmed when I place a pink ribbon through her fingers
The way her pink ribbon sleeps in her fingers, she clutches it
This reminded me of the day I clutched her hand on a rollercoaster “rollercoaster day”
“slipping through my fingers”
the way her head laid bare on the pillow when she felt tired
the way her face silenced when I took her hand into mine for the last time
the way her pink ribbon slips through her fingers, on her pink bed
this reminded me of our final seconds together, “final day”

This is a piece I was inspired to write by my own intuitive personal and creative mind, the pink ribbon symbolizes her favorite color pink, which the ribbon was this color and that made her feel calm, when she developed the disease and dealt with throughout the poem which is cancer. This poem also demonstrates the main characters love for the girl and how he thinks, remembers, and feels about her including how it was out of his own control that she slipped through his fingers and what stands out to him the most about her that keeps him calm in his thoughts and memories of her before and when she slipped through his fingers.
