Towards the light

Today was the day my partner would go, Through the tunnel of light and her pain was no more, My pain begins the end I don't know, Today is no different the pain seems to grow, I had the misery to watch her decline, A tumour malignant but why not benign, To witness my partner suffer like this, Her last days she slept, For me it was bliss, Throughout her long illness we had to many scares, From moments of collapsing or soiling her wears, Problems with treatments, Bad news from her scans, Cathata keep blocking on the leg where it hangs, Eight hours in chemo, No fun on your own, We were in a pandemic, I'm forced to stay home, Then to return after such a long day, Hoping the treatment kept cancer at bay, My partner stayed strong, She put up a good fight, To be free of the cancer , She must head for the light.

Thankyou for the positive response. I am a pure novice at poetry and it is my distraction away from grief. Everytime I get a positive reply it gives me a lift and I feel a bit better about myself. Again thankyou it means so much.
