Live on

You looked so beautiful
I didn't understand
how the angel of death could have
embraced your hand...

You lay there dying
I watched it all...
How was I expected to cope
when I was so small...

You knew what was happening
and that you couldn't win
and until the day your
soul passed away,
you were left to die in the pain of the decay....

You stayed strong
and said even though you were
leaving this world
You would always love me and
I need to stand tall...

To become a victim of this fate...
Killed me inside,
all I could do was hate...
I just didn't know how to feel.
i didn't understand that
this pain was real.

On the day you passed
I couldn't cope...
After you died
he took his life with the rope...
You had such an impact...
How do we cope...
now that you are gone where will we
seek hope,
to lose your life to a disease that
you didn't deserve
shows how life is nothing but a curse.

I need to say my final goodbye
for today is the day that you died.
I do I do it when I
don't know what to say,
although you live in my heart
you are still so far away.

I lye against your grave...
hoping for answers that I will never get
praying my tear drops will bring you back to life...
Each night I lye in bed
trying to acknowledge that
you're gone but I want you to know...
Your memory will forever live on...

    Oh My dear, this just broke my heart.
    But in writing we release our pain . We may never rid our selves of them but at least we can ease them.
    A wonderfully emotional poem, you have much heart and it flows to the readers.

    "praying my tear drops will bring you back to life..."

    This line describes the way I felt for a very long time after my mom died. I thought if I cried hard enough, it might bring her back. This poem brought me to tears. This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Amazing. 5/5
