Deborah Hawkins, penned Debra Renée Byrd, began writing after a blank book project in elementary school and never stopped, fashioning stories based on her favorite TV shows and movies before creating more original works. She studied at the University of the Arts and Florida State University before settling down and graduating from Temple University. She now resides in her hometown of Dover, DE, where she spends most of her time at work or at church. She loves fantasies, superheroes, is a trekkie and a brown coat. She loves television and lives for Final Fantasy video games, having collected most of them. She has read a myriad of authors, and her favorite authors change whenever she finds a new book that changes her life... "When you can't run, you crawl. When you can't crawl...well, you know the rest." -Tracey, Firefly, "The Message"

Poem-A-Day #30 Fading

OH! We're done. Thank God.

Closely I followed her
Down the street we used to tread
Through the fields where we once played
To the store where we last fought
She stood in the aisle and cried
But as I reached for her
My hand could no longer comfort
And she straightened, wiped her eyes
And walked away
