Final Days

Thoughts of a world without you Make me cringe. I felt you were invincible. You were the constant, The strength when I could carry the pain no more. Always the courage when I was afraid. My sole source for true love, Love independent of my success or failure. Never could I imagine this day would come. Now, death grips your hand tighter than life. I try to be strong. I hope I am brave. I pray every day I find your traits in me. The hours seem to fly. Tomorrow floats so far ahead. Nothing is certain, Each breath could be the last. I weep, sad for the impending loss. Yet joyous in the knowledge Soon you will suffer no more.
