And So- To Sleep

As I close the curtains on wavering thoughts, How did you bare the pain of your body’s conflict? The mirror on the wall captures a picture of my hurt, Tears fall as I wait for the mists of my pain to lift. So many answers needed but now laid to rest, My confusion as to “Why You?” never known. Expectance the only option, for what else is there? Solutions like an hour glass, empty and long gone. Left shocked and broken, when reality hit home, The battle within you raged, way out of your control. A parasitic army draining you of strength and life, Your loss leaves me numb right through to my soul. As others watched helpless, you were falling, Into the waiting arms of a better place. Where pain and illness will never touch you, I hope you smiled as you gave into it’s embrace. We’ll all miss you, but know you will be smiling, You will be remembered with love in our hearts. At night I will always have a thought for you, I will look for your face in the stars. ©.L.Kelly
