So selfish of me, I should be glad you’re at peace
if only I could feel
the warmth in your body
time seems to stop
without you here
I told you it’s ok
I will find a way
not sure if that was just for comfort
or just a boldface lie
I swear this isn’t a sad poem
It’s a tribute to your life
one I’ve admired so much
because you were so strong
yet always full of joy
never cruel
reminds me of my own short comings
when we first met
they said you were trouble
still not sure what they were talking about
I’ve only ever knew your kindness
now I have a life
full of fruitful memories
a birthday party we had to celebrate early
so many times this life tried to take you out
but you put up one hell of a fight
by the end I swear I seen death’s frustration
and in those last few breaths
I laid my hand on top of your head
feeling that you were finally at peace
the warmth in your body
time seems to stop
without you here
I told you it’s ok
I will find a way
not sure if that was just for comfort
or just a boldface lie
I swear this isn’t a sad poem
It’s a tribute to your life

yet always full of joy

now I have a life

by the end I swear I seen death’s frustration
and in those last few breaths

Small typo: away... a way
Wow. I'm so sorry you're going through such pain right now. You've eulogized this love beautifully, and I'm also holding you in my thoughts.

Dear DC,
Trying to compose my thoughts. Your honest accounting in this homage was beautiful and so touching. I’m very sorry for your loss and I’m glad you had the time together that you did. H🌷
