Time.

Dig through time,
Now watch her wilt.
Stare into her eyes,
Now see them tilt.
The pain she felt,
You could not tell.
She's dying now,
She's looking pale.
It's not your fault,
I told myself.
Just get the medicine,
Look on the lower shelf.
Before she died,
She looked at me with glee.
That's when I realized,
This girl was me.
