Sallow cheeks,
Indented eye sockets,
Lips blue,
Edema of abdomen,
Noise of
Cries beside her bed,
Everlasting death claims another.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Heartbreaking!!! Poignantly written!!!
I love how spooky and grim this is. Also great use of Edema. Although, here, we spell it Oedema, and I'm not used to seeing it without the O. It looks like a type of cheese.
Oh, the noises beside her bed. So sad.
Wow - vividly dark and expressive. Well done.
Ouch Sid. That really is dark and depressing. Still a reminder of the truth.
Whoaaa, that was so dark and poignant. Loved your Acrostic!
