The Last Day Poem by Melanie Candy

They let you slip away on that famous day
The one that’s known as New Year
No time did it take once the disease had set in
No sooner had you found it
That you were gone

The moment you went
I felt your pain
Even though I was away from your side
I knew at the time before words were spoken
Before he had walked through the door
That you were gone
And you would walk on this land no more

That goodbye message you sent
Without words passing your lips
As you would never speak again
That blow you sent me, it wasn’t to give me pain
But it was your way of saying goodbye


For all of the feelings I will always hold near
And keep the memories of the one I miss so dear
