Never Forgotten

I loved you so much
You were my favorite person.
We would do things together
Like watch TV, play games, and just have fun.

Then you started to feel bad.
And you didn't know why.
When the test results came back
I lay on my bed and cried.

They said you had pancreatic cancer
And only 6 months to live.
But there was a way to postpone death-
Chemotherapy was the alternative.

You got really sick when you took it.
That made me real sad.
You wouldn't smile and moped around.
When you gave up hope I got so mad.

Recently, a few months ago in fact
You were in St. Luke's- way in the back
I saw you and you looked miserable
Like someone bundled in a sack.

I'll never forget that look on your face.
It was a look of sheer terror.
You didn't know what would happen next.
That will haunt me forever.

I came home on Tuesday,
Just like I always do.
Mom came home @ 5:30
She said i have to talk to you.

She told me the worst news in my life.
It gave me a terrible fright.
Your organs were failing-
You wouldn't make it the night.

I came to see you,
Brianna came too.
Then Wednesday at 12,
Your life was through.

You went peacefully,
Auntie Kris was with you.
I have so many regrets though,
I should have been there too.

I never got to tell you all i wanted to.
I only got to spend 13 years with you.
They were filled with happiness and joy-
All because of you.

I respected you so much,
You were my favorite you know
But now i guess its time for me
To accept you're gone and let go.

I loved you so much.
And I will always miss you.
I really hope you realized,
That I will never forget you.
