Pain, Loss, and Surviving

I can't even imagine
The suffering
She is experiencing
It isn't right.
How can someone,
So good,
So true,
Go through this kind of
Pain?

I know she can conquer
And come out
Stronger than before
But this kind of loss?
Stays forever
And I don't want her to hurt
Ever
At all.

And it's not my place to say anything
And I never will
But if I could
I would tell her
I cried for her
Her loss
And for her faith
To remain strong.

Life cut short
So small
And fragile,
And suddenly,
Gone,
And I can't ever say a thing
That I was hurting with her
Because still,
I can only imagine the pain.

Just know,
These things I say
You will never hear
But even though we aren't
The best of friends
Or even so close
I admire you with all my heart
And you have inspired me
And I will try to take
Whatever lessons I can
And let that serve
As a way to uplift
That which was lost
To something greater.
