I posted this on deviantart first and I got a comment from someone who's mom just passed away last Wednesday.  He said it sounds exactly like her.
Totally made me cry reading that comment T_T
"Her heart and body were strong but she just couldn't hold on..."
I'm sure she's resting peacefully now. 
I shed my tears for you today.

*~Burning~*

She sits in the sunshine, all-dressed in black
But no warmth is absorbed by her body.
Looking around, she sees a fire burning -
The flame makes her outstretched fingers icy.

She sits back, watching the flame,
Willing it to finally die away,
But in her eyes the light remains -
Its mockery pains her day after day.

A memory, a feeling, burns cold in her chest
Whenever she allows her mind to wander.
For how long must she endure the undying pain
If she cannot extinguish the fire within her?

All-dressed in black, she remains in the sunshine
Willing her skin to absorb any warmth she can find.

*~Waiting~*

Why is my hand still shaking
so long after you've left?
It took so much effort
To show you I'm still smiling.
I hope you believe me when I say I'm okay.
Nothing has changed, but I'll hide it away.

I'm sure it becomes easier with time -
I'll be able to meet your eyes again,
But right now as your gaze follows me
I refuse to show you how much I've died.
My day fluctuates between calmness and sorrow
And all I know is--- it will continue tomorrow.

I'll always go on thinking only of you
Until one day,
Hopefully, you'll think of me too.

wrote this poem during English class...the short story was boring....

*~Three Minutes~*

I sat patiently waiting for a glimpse of you,
Telling myself you wouldn't be there
Yet despite the doubt my heart still had hope
And I couldn't lift myself from this chair.

"I'll give you three more minutes," I sighed,
"I can't just sit here all day."
I watched the time change on my cell
As the last seconds ticked away.

It seems whenever I'm about to give up
You always appear once again.
And there you were as I got up to leave,
As three minutes came to an end.

Sometimes I wonder about my stupidity
And how I fell into the trap so easily.

Here's the 3rd one.  I couldn't think of better titles for these sorry haha

*~My Friend~*
My mind clouds with questions
Each day we do not speak.
There is a growing suspicion
That makes my heart weak.

Perhaps it's pure coincidence
We are so distant today,
And maybe in my absence
You'll think of me someday.

Somehow I thought I'd be satisfied
Just as long as you are still here,
But if our friendship is compromised-
It's the hole you leave that I fear.

Some words may be better off unsaid,
Though they cry and sigh inside my head.

Here's the 2nd one.

*~A Reminder~*
There are words which won't leave my lips,
At least not now as we sit like this.
Side by side we spend a quiet half hour.
Your words and actions...I can't decipher.
My heart's a mystery even to me
Although I am sure now, you're all I see.

I laugh at all the random things you say
And wish to waste time with you everyday
Until I catch myself -I'm dreaming again-
And I remember you are only my friend.

In your ignorance I will still wait patiently.
Near or far, thoughts weigh me down heavily.

3 new poems. Here's the first one~

*~Window~*
The window between us began as a wall
Not too many months ago-
And I thought I could keep it that way.
I strongly refused to acknowledge the fall
As I stood alone in the snow-
But my heart called for you that day.

You broke through the wall bit by bit
While I tried to push you away-
Perhaps my efforts were subconsciously weak.
I was chasing a dream I thought you didn't fit
But I began holding on to things you'd say-
Now I find amusement in the nonsense you speak.

The glass of the window forming between us
Will remain in this translucent state-
It seems we know so much and so little of each other.
I fear the hinges will be riddled with rust
While I wait for our unknown fate-
If I let my words reach you, could we still stand together?

We're leaning comfortably on either sides of our wall.
I can't tell you right now how far you made me fall.
