Analysis of Survivor



I know you’re wracked and feeling guilty;
That you survived, while my sickness killed me.
Yet think instead to happier moments that thrilled me.
The parts of my life, you fulfilled me.

You survived me, you chose life.
Escaped the fire on the edge of a knife.
Now you’re here and I am gone,
You may realize insight I never came upon.
It’s not of life to be lost or won,
But rather to be experienced till this life is done.
