The Pain, The Pain

                                                   Nico

As time goes on there is something that’s off, my heart and soul won’t heal;

In fact the pain has gotten worse, for each day more I feel!

My tears augment with every month, for it’s another without you;

Twenty eight and counting, the more sadness, the more I rue!

Accumulative aches accruing, remind my maudlin memory cells;

That what was once our bluest Heaven, is now my blackest Hell!

For the joys we shared have come to end, Fate stole you from my side;

So instead of getting better, more tears each day I’ve cried!

Whoever said time heals everything, had never lost true love;

To kiss goodbye their dear soulmate, watch them float to stars above!

The light of all my yesterdays, has become the darkness of today;

My heart and soul ever sobbing, since the night you sailed away!

I’m sitting next to Cody, he has laid down by my side;

I’m crying tears for soon he’ll leave me, and our souls will be denied!

Of being so close together, for his will float into the sky;

Leaving mine to ever miss him, leaving mine to ever cry!

He fights so very bravely, his harbingers of short longevity;

His pancreatitis hurts his tummy, his left leg, a tumor does there be!

But he takes his powdered medicine, that keeps his stomach from upset;

And his growth has not metastasized, so no cancer does he get!

His attitude is very happy, for he’s never left alone;

Where we go he goes with us, so in loneliness, he never moans!

We do all we can to please him, for his joy is paramount;

We know the clock is ticking, but we do all to circumvent it’s count!
