Selfish Suffering

 

I’ve never wrote a poem before,

but silence is the loudest scream I can’t ignore,

There’s a hole in my chest the size of the Grand Canyon,

Thoughts in my head my mind won’t abandon,

Why do this to yourself? Aren’t I enough?

The fact I care for you so much,

Put down the glass please, your body can’t take it, 

Too much abuse from the poison you won’t quit,

Remember your son, too young with a good heart,

But not in the medical books which is why we apart.

Heart failure a failing in the blood but you know that already,

Please no more now you need to go steady,

What good is a grandad if his heart stops beating?

If you’re gone, what good is my heart when it’s broken not healing.
