Lonely my heart, gone my soul mate.
Though time has passed, it’s hard to face.
Heavy my heart, an unpleasant weight.
Struggling hard to remember your face.

Oh how lonesome, this moment has befall.
Missing from my life, your gentle spirit.
Daily struggle to rise, I only crawl.
Empty abandoned pain I now inherit.

I yearn for you more than words can tell.
I love you more than poetry can embrace.
Your love had saved me, from my hell.
For you were, my saving grace.

Battling the demon, growing deep inside.
Cancer the beast, refused to die.
Warrior’s heart, you fought to survive.
In my arms you passed, without a good bye.

No more hurt or pain shall you suffer.
Life seems unfair, yes this is true.
We hope, we pray, but this I can offer.
Peace of mind, as the Lord now watches over you.

I know this song, I know this dance.

I feel this, but then again, I too, lost someone dear. One step at a time, I know you've heard. Recall her fondly, as I do mine. The pain will lessen though it takes time. Best wishes Redice.
