Why Did You Hide It

So many emotions locked up inside, no where to run, my feelings I hide. I try to cry, the tears won't come. I sit here still, my body is numb. My mind always wanders to your hospital bed, and the only image I see, is you lifeless, dead. That image still haunts me both day and at night. Although you looked peaceful, I couldn't bear the sight. For in that moment, my world stopped. My heart was in my throat, my stomach dropped. I grabbed your hand and held on tight. I bowed my head, knowing you lost the fight. I never saw it coming, no not this quick. Why didn't you tell us, that you were so sick? Why did you hide it? Why didn't you let us know? We could have fought this together, before we had to let you go...
