• Where am I?
    Unfamiliar to me.
    Where are you?
    Out of sight.

    Why can't I hear your voice any longer?
    Why can't you hear mine?
    Is there something in the way?
    Is that why I can't get to you?

    You've gone away.
    Indefinately.
    Left me here.
    Broken.

    I sit in the shattered fragments of your life.
    A picture, a stuffed heart, all that remains.
    Nothing to remind me.
    Yet everything does.

    Because when I look out the window, I see the snowman we built.
    I see the pool we swam in.
    I see the steps we walked on.
    I see dad's new girlfriend.

    You've gone away.
    Indefinately.
    Left me here.
    Broken.

    And yet, as my world shatters alongside yours,
    I know.
    You're okay.
    Better place than here.

    Because you're free of the cancer that claimed your life.
    Free of the struggle.
    Free of the pain.
    But I'm still surronded by it.

    And I'm broken.
