Sadness

A tear dropping down your face like ink creeping out of its small controlling well
My pain is indescribable I had to let it go
I had to let you go
You slipped away like the a room of golden light running away in the power of the darkness
You were the one who guided and cared for me
Cancer snatched you up.
One tumour at a time
You were the missing thread in warm blanket of comfort You were waiting for death to conquer you I was scared to see you go But you had to
Goodbye
