You're gone

You've left

I can't believe it

But now you rest

You've suffered for so long

And struggled to stay strong

You seemed fearless in every way

But inside, the pain was too great

At night, all you did was cry

By day, you stood strong with pride

You are my mom and my hero

My best friend and now, my guardian angel

I can't believe this happened

I miss you so much

I try to hide my pain

But some nights,

the tears are hard to restrain

So many things remind me of you

But you're gone now

and there's nothing I can do

I lie to myself

and say you're alive

But sometimes I can't

and realize you've died

The pain you felt

can't be described

Once, you tried to explain

but instead, you cried

I love you mom

And forever will

You've taught me so much

how hope can heal

I promise to continue,

if only for you

I'll keep up my goals

As long as you remember,

you'll always live in my soul...
