A day that changed everything

I dread that day the 5th of May,
 my loving partner  passed away, 
I find it hard that she has gone,
 undeserved her death was wrong, 
At 42 a life cut short,
I'de double that is what I thought,
She should have reached a ripe old age,
In her book i'de miss that page,
And add it to her younger days when life was dancing on the stage,
So why did she not have a say,
On when she'd reach her final day,
What made my lovers death so sad,
Was the cervical cancer that she had,
All you ladies take your smear,
Just missing one could cost you dear,
You lose the battle,
You lose what's you,
And your dignity, 
You lose that too.
