Grief catches in my throat
Like a pill I
Cannot swallow
The places you once filled
In my heart, now
Feel so hollow
We breathe and then we don't
That's the nature
Of existence
The end approaches and
We meet it with
Great resistance
But memories of you
Create a smile
Upon my face
Because the light you brought
Into my life
Can't be erased
You lived for every laugh
And you gave love
Through many tears
You made your presence known
As you broke down
Each wall of fears
So while today is hard
There will still be
A tomorrow
And I won't let myself
Fill more time with
All this sorrow
Because that's not something
A shining soul
Like you would do
You'd say, "Enjoy the day
Go share the light
I shared with you"
