I was sure that I might have you¹
for so much longer
you broke my heart
as you got weaker
how dare you do
what the doctors expected
damn it...
how dare you consider
not being strong enough
to beat the odds
you were suppose to live
you were larger than life
not the other way around
damn it.
i am selfish now
wishing you had endured
wishing you got better
just to touch you
damn it!
could you not
have taken me with you?²

Its painful to read that, which means it is good. I am right there with you in your sentiments and feelings. Regardless, I am glad she didn't take you with her.
