In Loving Memory

I'm staring out the window
Tears running down my face
It seems everyone keeps leaving
How can this be the case?

There one day
But gone the next
Why did this happen?
Is it a test?

People I love are crying
You've only been gone a few days
But the world feels so empty
Why did it take you away?

Just a short time ago was when we found out
You had cancer, it made people cry and shout.

I thought there was still time left
But suddenly, away you went
Now your family's and friend's hearts
Are twisted broken and bent.

I wonder if you were in any pain
When you slipped away
As I walk in the rain
To wash the tears away.

You didn't deserve what life dealt you
Didn't deserve to go that way
Each night I go to sleep praying
That when I wake up you'll be okay.

But this is no nightmare
But real life that's unfair
How I wish it were just a dream
And you were the person you've always been.

I know we didn't talk in a while
But now I wish we had
Now I'll never get the chance to help you
When things get really bad.

I'm sorry this happened
And know that I miss you
With you gone so suddenly
It seems everyone is blue.
