Clone (her)

She is beautiful.
Prettier than the skies freshly cried tears
On the gardens flowers.
Fast yet elegant.
As she swished across the floor.
Her smiles were the sun that lit my day.

As I stare at her dead body
Knowing she won't call my name.
Knowing she won't be the sun to light up my day,
And my days are always dark.
But knowing I'm selfish pains me the most.

                                 You look like her.
                  Are you okay?
          You'll get over it.
It's not a big deal.

I CAN'T!

Why don't you see? I'm not her clone! I'm not something that can be remediated by the contents found in a first aid kit!

I'm a human, not a clone.
I'm a daughter, not a clone.
I have feelings, I'm not a clone.
I am to be fixed, I'm not a clone.
I feel alone, but I know I'm not alone.
I miss her as much as you do.
