One final breath,
and you're gone.
This is it,
your battle is won.

Now you sit,
above with God.
Watching us cry,
knowing you're gone.

You fought well,
long and hard.
You didn't complain,
that He delt you this card.

The soldiers are home,
at ease and rest.
You did all you could,
you tried your best.

I'll remember you,
I promise, forever.
I'll think of you,
in the stormy weather.

For I'll know it's you,
when the sky let's way.
I'll know you're saying,
you're here always...

The clouds hang low,
signaling rain.
But the rain holds off,
just like yesterday.

I miss you still,
and I wait for word.
But nothing has changed,
not that I've heard.

You're still on the edge,
of life and death.
Making what's best,
of the time you have left.

I don't want you gone,
but it's for the best in the end.
Because when it's over,
you'll never have pain again.

God will take it away,
along with all of you.
I'll have to go in life,
living without you.

But I'll know forever,
that you'll be watching over me.
And I can remember,
all our memories.

The clouds getting darker,
signaling rain.
Doesn't look very pleasent,
looks like lots of pain.

God is watching over you,
he knows how you've fought.
He knows all your troubles,
he knows all you've taught.

He knows the pain,
the suffering you've felt.
That's why he's taking you,
and the pain you have left.

So acceptance is hard,
losing the one you love.
But I know you'll watch,
in the floors of heaven above.

You're taking it as it comes,
everything that's thrown.
Remember we're here,
you're never on your own.

We'll be there till the end,
when the last breath is drawn.
The darkness comes in,
when your battle is finally won.

The final battle,
the final bullet shot.
The end is nearing,
after all you've fought.

You can go in peace,
knowing you did your best.
And the final battle ends,
with the soldiers at rest...

The cancer spreads,
it will not stop.
The treatments won't work,
after all you've fought...

But don't give in,
I need you here.
God can't take you,
it's all that I fear.

Alone I cry,
over all this stress.
Lately my life,
is just one big mess.

The jerks at school,
the exams I cram.
But what's the use,
when I'm alone again.

My thoughts torture,
my fears ****.
I don't want to cry,
but I do against my will.

I feel so useless,
there's nothing I can do.
I can't make you better,
can't cure you.

I feel selfish,
I know you're suffering again.
But I promise you,
I'll be with you till the end.

I'll make the best,
of every moment I have
And I'll treat every minute,
like it is our last.

'Cause if I've learned anything,
it's like can change.
Without any warning,
everything will rearrange.

I love you mime,
you're everything to me.
You've taught me lots,
changed how I see.

So, they say this cancer,
it'll be your death.
But I'll make sure you're happy,
with the time you have left.

And when the end is close,
I'll be very near.
Holding your hand,
with you shedding tears.

I love you,
and I'll always remember.
Your bright blue eyes,
in the stormy weather.

Cause when you're gone,
on rainy days,
I know that it's you,
saying you're there always.

"A wise friend once told me, Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain. I dedicate this poem to that friend...they were my inspiration"

Why waste time waiting for the storm to pass?
Spending all your days sulking on your ***.
Go outside and dance in the rain.
There's no better way to forget the pain.

Find the silver lining as it flys across your sky.
Even if all you want to do is lay in bed and cry.
Make the best of your life for now.
Because it will get better some way some how.

Even if we have to wait and be alone for a year.
We'll make it out together hand in hand without fear.
Because in the end this storm will pass.
So dance in the rain and I'll help you off your ***.

Soaking wet we'll walk away from all the rain.
Together we will help heal all of the pain...

What do you do when you can't sleep?
When all your mind wants to do is weep.
When your life lately is nothing but hell,
when not even a talk with a friend makes it well.
What do you do when the world turns its' back?
When you feel alone and it's outta whack.
When you can't talk to no one cause no one can hear,
The scream so loud or a whisper so clear.
The only person you have in your life is God,
but lately even his love seems a litle gone.
Close ones dieing and a friend taken away,
not wanting to go through with another dreadful day.
Can't we all just talk it out?
instead of a fight, scream, or shout.
I just want my best friend back,
because lately my whole life it out of whack.
Mimé's gone and I can't bring her home,
but my best friend's around and all alone.
I need him here like a flower needs sun,
and I won't give in until my battle is won.
For we did nothing wrong so what the hell?
why are we being put through a living hell.
This makes no sense and no stories are straight,
and all I want is my best friend for heaven's sake.
My best friend to confide and confort can be found,
when life seems over and I'm being pushed around.
I just want it all to work out and be delt,
I want to get rid of all I've felt.
This hurt and sorrow and a little betrayed,
by everyone and anyone today.
God please help me and guide my way,
please don't lead me too far astray.
The only thing I have to believe in now,
is faith that God and Mimé are watching me somehow.
That they can help me deal with this huge mess,
and maybe help me get through this test.
This rough patch in my life,
that caused these tears, hate and strife.
This makes no sense and no stories are straight,
and all I want is my best friend for heaven's sake.
Like Romeo and Juliet to the extream,
forbidden to see eachother without real means..

Like Romeo and Juliet,
minus to suicide.
But we won't sneak around,
'cause we got nothin to hide.

Go ahead,
and take him away.
But where there's a will,
there's always a way.

I won't simmer down,
I won't stay calm.
Give me a reason,
I shouldn't drop an F bomb.

I've lost my friend,
of 10 long years.
Losing my mim,
fighting back tears.

Now you're taking,
my best friend too?
How would you feel,
if this was you.

Fighting for the right,
boy and girl friends.
Don't wanna give up,
there's never an end.

Standing up for what's real,
losing everything that matters.
Can't stop crying,
over my heart which is tattered.

Do you see what you do?
see what you've done.
In taking my best friend,
punishing for fun.

This is not alright,
never okay.
Not tomorrow,
not even today.

But go ahead,
and have you fun.
But it's not okay,
not even close ***.

I'll fight till the end,
who knows the outcome?
But I won't let this slip,
not after all we've done.

The late night calls,
crying on the phone.
Sitting on my bench,
never on my own.

He comforted me,
I was there for him.
But you think you can come,
you think you can win.

I won't give in,
won't let way.
Not tomorrow,
not even today.

This isn't fair,
this is life at it's worst.
I feel it's my fault,
this stupid angry curse.

Just when I get comfortable,
and I let down my guard.
Something comes along,
smooshing all my rewards.

I lose everything,
everything that's close.
I can't lose another,
not even a little ghost.

Now I softly cry,
and you will softly weep.
With nothing to hide,
no secrets to keep...

There's no time like the present,
no future in your past.
No telling what life might bring,
is this moment your last?

Life is not a promise,
it is merely a gift.
What you have no control of,
and things may suddenly shift.

The memories will stay forever,
the storms will pass.
As long as you live every moment,
as if it is your last.
