In my life I had known, both joy and fear.
I had smiled often, but had also shed a tear.
I had an even balance of happiness and sting,
And had no idea what this next year would bring.
When Cancer took her away from me,
Her soul and body was set completely free.
Her heart was done aching and her mind put to rest,
She happy again, It was for the best.
She had no more suffering, she had no more fear.
But she gave all her pain to those of us still here.
She was now safe and sound, but she was gone forever
And I was stuck on earth unable to see her ever.
She left behind a disease with her family and friends.
Similar to her own, but this one never ends.
It feels like her cancer, I was hurting and scared.
It’s a horrible thing, that this disease was shared.
Her only baby girl was now left alone.
To grow up with three boys, all tortured in one home.
Tortured by the thought, they would never hug, smell, or see,
That wonderful woman who just left them to be.
This disease of loss took over our lives.
Seven years later and there’s no surprise.
I still haven’t slept in so many years
Because I cant fall asleep to the sound of my tears.
