Wrote this last night as a way to vent my feelings a little. A little shook up today by the news about him and I keep having flashbacks. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day. Anyways, here’s the poem.
Tears in my eyes, fists clenched
Choked up, emotionally lynched
Struggling to find words
This reality really disturbs
Didn’t think it’d end this way
Thought I’d see you again someday
As the the sun fades into a long night
Rest easy big cousin, you put up your best fight
Really beautiful poem
That is a great poem 
That’s beautiful. Made me cry a bit.
One of the best heroic couplets I’ve read on this site. It’s powerful and triumphant, but it is also tragic.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Slow deaths are the most painful to watch. Nothing “reassuring” that I say will make this any easier, so I won’t try. Sometimes, the end just comes too soon.

That is a really beautiful poem. A great tribute to your cousin.
Update: My cousin passed this morning, around roughly 7am is when we received the call.
That is an awesome poem!
That is too bad. I’m sorry for your loss. 
I’m sorry for your loss @Dreamer
I am sorry for your loss.
