They try to comfort me

But I push them away

They tell me I'll see him again

What if they're lying?

When I wake up in the morning

For a second

I think he's still there

Lying next to me

But then it hits me

Like a slap to the face

He's gone

Cancer took him

So I write

To take the pain away

And sometimes it works

But then they try to comfort me again

And I remember every detail

I ask them

Why do you remind me every day?

And they leave, crying

I won't apologize

I never do

But why should I?

They never do.
