Sorry I ran off without saying goodbye,
Something came over me, and
I didn’t want you to see me cry,
Sorry I snapped at you without reason or warning,
I’ve had no control, since the day I started mourning,
Sorry I get angry over the smallest of things,
But while dealing with grief,
I cannot bear the strain it brings,
Sorry my mind is all a jumble,
It’s hard to focus and connect,
When I constantly feel like I am going to crumble,
Sorry I’m not the same person you knew,
But when you go through a trauma,
You don’t know how you’ll get through,
Sorry I lost my baby, and you can’t relate,
It’s hard to know what to do or say,
So I will try and educate,
I’m sorry I may not be handling his loss in the way you think best,
But judgement in this situation, is best laid at rest,
I don’t need your sorrow, or sad looking faces,
I just need you love and warm embraces.

- Comment from author about the poem: I lost my three month old baby, Ruben in January 2022. It’s been a really hard journey, as anyone could try to imagine, however his loss has brought some really creative ideas along the way, and I have embraced them - just like I would have done with him.

I'm too lacking a person
to offer you anything original
or meaningfully, tangible
but here, imbued
in these words is the best I can offer you:
firstly
'I'm so sorry for your loss
I can't fathom, surviving
that level of tragic, devastation'
secondly
'I laud, your bravery!'
and lastly
I wish you Peace, dear poet
and all the kindness, Fate
has to give
stay Blessed, shine Bright
shed a path for those, lost
in that tunnel
you know, too well..
write Bold, write Loud
and make your child Proud
as these words you've shared
must surely make him
when
they reach him
wherever
he may be resting
in peace.
