If only I had thecourage… Constantia Clinic, 16December, A day forever to beremembered. You last day on thisearth, It was only twentymonths and a bit since your day of birth. Now today six monthslater I am staring at the ceiling, Seeking a way out, asthere is no healing I can cry for a hundredyears, You won’t be comingback, no matter my tears. How do I hold onwithout letting go? I am a coward, butthe world don’t know. Why did you have toleave? I want to follow youbut I am too weak! It is just too hardto live my life again, If only I had thecourage; I would put my story to an end While typing thesewords, I was sitting, crying in my daughter’s room. I was inconsolable. Themotion sensor lights switched off, the room was in complete darkness. If onlylife was that easy; your light switch off if you don’t want to live life. Then Iwon’t need any courage…

First of all, my condolences on your loss. You've conveyed the raw emotions through your words! They're simple, no fluffy language. If I would have anything to suggest just be careful with the syntax, like a few instances where two words didn't have a space between them (thisearth, asthere, etc).

Very sorry for your loss, I know you'll miss her forever. I agree with the previous poster. Catch your breath & re do it. It's unbearably sad yet lovely.
