Where Is She

Where is She I watched her draw her final breath Her eyes looked for me She smiled and slipped into death Her soul was finally free I hated being so helpless and torn But she knew what to do I just stood there and cried and mourned While her vision of life genuinely grew So she is gone and I’m alone Where is she today? She lived with me, this was her home Her things are here to stay Her grey shoes I always loathed Are now out for me to see With love and pain I keep her clothes Because I can’t set her free I can’t let go of someone I loved My sister was torn from me It isn’t fair to be “beloved” She was only 37, you see? Stupid cancer and its nasty growl! It ate her inside out No one knew it was on the prowl And too late when we found out She fought with fear and anger, too As it declared a win There was nothing at all that I could do But be there in the end
