Better There

I suffered,
We suffered,
We lived a different life.

You suffered,
I'm certain,
Until the day you died.

How selfish,
How thoughtless,
For me to wish your fate.

My vision
Was blurry,
But now I'm wide awake.

I suffered,
We suffered,
We lived a different life.

You suffered,
Unending,
Until the day you died.

I'm sorry,
It won't help,
Time passed and so have you.

It's better,
Much better,
Life's better there for you.

-

Never before had I truly seen
Your misery and silent screams,
You lied so still and numb each day-
Each long and empty frozen day.

I wish I could have set you free.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.
