this is a poem that i wrote for my aunt who is dieing of cancer after i just found out

Why are you dying?

One of the only people who loves me is going,

And I can’t stop her,

When she takes her last breath

A tear will fall

And another and another.

I will sit by her side

And not be dragged away,

Because my heart is bleeding for her.

I will not hear her voice again after that,

Never again see her smile,

The train of death won’t be halted.

Can’t you please hold on?

All I ask is to see you smile again

Not now not ever with I get my wish

Cause you are a light fading fast.

Ever fading until your light goes out and

Really you used to light up my world.

Wow, you really did make me sad when I read that. I hope this isn't based on real events, its sad losing someone close to you. It hasn't happened to me but I get sad just by contemplating the idea, you have such image invoking writting style one can't help but feel what the poem conveys, another ace high job, I can say I am your number one fan, lol, but your new, I know you'll get many more very soon.
