A Sad Anniversary

It's been seven years now
Since you were ripped cruely out of my life.
It happened so suddenly
And left everyone you knew and loved
In denial, in shock, in mourning.
I was the first one to know
That you were no longer here.
It's be so hard to live
Without you near.
I have cried tears,
But not many.
I have to stay strong
For my sister, for my family.
I can't say that I have many fond memories
To remember you by.
There aren't many pictures of you,
And your face is slowly fading from my mind.
But I'll never forget
The good times we did share.
I'll never forget you.
Ever.
My mother.
