What Do You Say?

Krystal Brewington

What do you say when the one you love, son passes away?

What do you do to help him, from falling apart?

How do you know if he wants a hug or to talk or just be left alone?

How do you help him with the heartache, that the rising of the sun brought on?

How can you heal his heart, when it's been torn apart?

How can you begin to make things better, when his heart can't be pieced back together?

How can you make things ok, when his life got turned upside down today?

Where do you start to bring him back, when he seems so far away?

It hurts so bad, to see the one you love, hurting fro down inside.

And all you want is for him, in you, to confide. To let go of his pride and talk to you instead of hide.

But trusting in you and talking to you about how he feels, is something, he himself has to decide.

All you can do, is let him know your there.

Pray for him and show him you care.

Life is never fair, but you can get through anything, together, as a pair.

Hold him tight, let him know, it's all gonna be alright.

That he has you, so he's not alone in this fight.

When he sits still, in the darkness of the night, staring into space, 

No movement made, not a word said,

Or even a tear to be shed.

When he is right there, but seems so far away.

Let him know your there, by his side, and that's where your gonna stay.

Hold his hand, listen if he wants to talk.

If not, just sit with him in the darkness and silence, make sure he knows he's not doing this alone.

He needs help through the darkness,

The feeling of heartache and loneliness.

Not to be alone through this horrible time.

To help him through this awful thing, they call apart of life...

  • Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this a few years ago. When my Fiance's son suddenly and fast with out a warning, to young. Passed away. It has torn him and his whole life apart. Still till this day, his life is torn apart over it. But just as I said here, from day one end still more 3 years later. I'm still always right here for him. If he needs me. And I make sure every day I tell, show and let him know I am right here for him off and when he needs me any time. And he knows. I made sure of that. But so ya. That's what inspired me to write this piece. Hope y'all like it.

    The absolute worst thing that can happen to a parent is to loose his/her child. I am glad you wrote this beautiful poem.
