5/1/2013

I sat there in your room,

Prepping for my demise that afternoon.

I barely had you,

Now our goodbyes were happening so soon.

You laid in my arms,

Unaware of what was to come.

I drowned in the heaviness,

Of what had to be done.

Unaware of the choices I made,

You finally opened your eyes,

I watched as you began to fade.

Tiny fingers grasped my hand.

The thought of you being scared,

Is a thought I just can't bear to stand.

Tears fell down your cheeks.

Your dying breathe,

Played on in my head for weeks.

I just can't let go.

So many questions,

With answers I'll never know.

I cursed his name,

For taking you,

Instead of taking me.

Now I search for anything,

To help numb this pain.

My prayers thrown out in vain,

In hopes of seeing you again.

I struggle to remain a good father,

Knowing in my heart,

That I am incomplete,

Missing one of my daughters...
