Better Days

Better days I???ve had,
Today just feels sad.
The news I got was expected,
I projected her death almost a week ago.
Unprepared I was for the reality,
Being right isn???t always fun.
Adenocarcinoma, a Cancer within,
Eating the body, crushing the soul.
Love and Loss are perpetual.
Even though she???s passed,
I hope this pain won???t last.
There will be better days ahead,
She won???t suffer any longer, she???s dead.
We are left here,
With her memories,
With her loved ones.
Now it???s our turn to suffer a bit,
Tears are not something she???d want.
So now I look out through haunted eyes,
The tears held back, I will not cry.
My memories of her were always fond.
We had a great bond,
Her life was short,
But she touched all who met her.
So no more tears will fall,
The break of my heart will be put on hold.
Her family needs me whole,
So here I???ll be.
The rock for everyone to lean on.
I???ll be here to help pick up the pieces,
Left by her broken dreams.
I will help light the darkness,
And prepare for better days.
