A Lifetime of Crying

You are conjoined in both heart and soul,
in good times and bad.
And when cancer strikes one of you,
it's unbelievably tragic.
Responsive to a lifetime spent in love
one reaches out to the other,
bringing their darkest fears to light.
A lot of deep soul-searching
leaves you feeling helpless,
unable to alleviate your soulmate's suffering.
Memory is the catalyst
that allows sad thoughts
to be spun into a comforting feeling,
recalling all the happy times
you enthusiastically shared as one.
But the hurt is real,
fueling feelings of profound sorrow.
And when pain is all one has to look forward to,
death becomes preferable,
both for the one dying
and the one doomed to a lifetime of crying.
