love you, <br />Henry, you're so sweet. <br />Today, a year ago, you died, <br />You accepted defeat. <br />Leukemia took your life, <br />Faster than it should <br />We didn't see the signs, <br />It was too late when we could. <br />They said 3-5 months, <br />Is what they'd give. <br />A day later, <br />They said 3-5 days to live. <br />I didn't want to see you, <br />I didn't want to ruin my fun. <br />Had tears in my eyes, so blue, <br />All I wanted to do was run. <br />Run to a place where you weren't sick. <br />Were every single second, <br />Wasn't a deathly tick. <br />Under the covers, <br />Your chest was a little bump. <br />Your breath would stop coming, <br />Then start again with a jump. <br />You said you were sorry, <br />But we both knew you weren't the one to blame. <br />Leukemia took your life, <br />Now it will never be the same. <br />My mom came upstairs, <br />She said, 'Henry died.' <br />Every tear fell to the floor, <br />As every second passed by. <br />The funeral, <br />It was even sadder. <br />People were talking and some were laughing! <br />Now I was getting mad. <br />Later, at grandmas house, <br />We all went there. <br />Irvin got drunk, <br />And acted as if no one else cared! <br />I took 1 or 2 CDs of yours, <br />I hope you don't mind. <br />I took them, <br />To have something that will remind. <br />We all lost someone we loved, <br />He was lost to a disease. <br />A year ago, we lost you, <br />The pain still has not ceased. <br />I am glad I went, <br />To the hospice to say goodbye. <br />If I hadn't I would regret, <br />Every second that was passing me by.<br /><br />Tiffany Wolf<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-fight-2/
