Life, Love, Loss.

Through all of the sickness,

Through all of the distress,

Always finding ways to make someone their best.

        After starting over,

        You have come so far, then all of the sudden,

         Immunity to you no longer existed.

I sat down there next to the side of your bed,

Even though you weren't awake,

I knew you could feel me when I kissed your head.

           From the e-mail to come,

          It would change my life forever,

         And I knew then and there you would never get better.

A tsunami of sorrow,

hit me like boulders,

A great weight came upon my shoulders.

          Air in the room filled with helplessness,

         Only sound in existence are quiet sobs,

          And the thoughts of her victorious life.
