The Day You Lost Your Battle

The day you lost your battle,

I tried to hold back tears.

You were strong, and persevering,

and all the more very deserving to live.

The day you lost your battle,

I had my hopes in my lowest low.

You were my pillar, my rock, my strength,

But I saw all that crumble, collapse, and eventually go.

The day you lost your battle,

I couldn't believe what I heard.

You were always there to lift my spirits up,

and now you're not there, not anymore.

The day you lost your battle,

I told myself you had a good fight.

You were all set and ready to leave us,

although I wasn't quite.
