Your last year

Last year was perfect
I cannot realize why
You became seriously ill
It was time to say goodbye.

Everything in life has changed
Places, faces and names.
The house is quiet without you
Playing funny games.

Your name is written on stone
I place the flowers and stare
Your funeral was my living nightmare
A black outfit I had to wear

This simple poem I wrote
Is a reminder you were here
I continue to write about you
As my eyes fill with tears.
