Pain Free

Death's bittersweet kiss has released your soul
and stopped your pain
at long last
yet still
tears
stain
my face
for I miss
your smile, and laugh:
though it comforts me to know you're pain-free.

Beautifully sad Emile, sad when someone suffers with chronic pain, but dying may be a release of sorts but brings other deeply sorrowful consequences along with it. The contrasting emotions are well described, I think this will be a winner!
