Waiting beside the hospital bed
Knowing I may not see you again
Your eyes have opened
But you did not respond
As I try to find the words
Only a few come, "it will be okay"
With a tear down my face
Wish there was more I could do
You close them drifting back off too
Sleep now and rest easy
Every time you cough
I'm here to help ease it
This is not good bye
Just something new
So for now I'll say
See you again soon.

- Comment from author about the poem: I'll try keep this as readable as possible, but sometimes I struggle. This is to help a man going by damage soul kinder spirit, as he goes through more testing times. I write my feels and thoughts out all the time, in my head or on paper, like breathing it's Constant. I joined this site at point when i'd post all these thoughts on Facebook, people would think I'm going to end my life or I'm really unstable and needed help. So I thought I'd try and find a place where others were as understanding as me to how it works writing what you feel, with no one knowing you, more than you. This is now where I spend most of my free time as people like Robert get the person I am inside, as others also do too by spend time with reading my work or messaging with positive feedback. But to this amazing cowboy who feels like he's always there, you give a reflection of the man I'm trying to become. For this priceless gift you give, I dedicated this writing to your dear mother as I felt your pain my brother and know that I've sat where you are and that time does not really heal but we just keep our word to not give up till the end. So I take my self back to all those moments as do, offering to take some of this burden off you. Thank you my friend

Having had a couple of scares with my wifes health (one of which was truly touch and go - 20% chance of pulling through) this poem meant so much to me - not ashamed to say my eyes watered as I read it.
Thank you ever so much for sharing that with me, although I was brought up that boys don't cry, I've always been unable to stop and I've learnt that they were wrong. To cry is not girly we all do it, I'm glad it touched you and I wish you and your wife all the best in this life time.
Again thank you for helping me be more me 😉
Very good write, the loss of a loved one is so sad, I know how you feel.
Great tribute to Robert.
Thank my friend, coming to this site has helped me so much. So many great souls to interact with as your self!
losing someone you love hurts. I think it hurts more when you lose them but they're still out there somewhere. If they pass away you can tell yourself we will all go one day. It can help you in a way. Beautiful writing!!
