I've been punched in the gut
Without being touched
Who would have guessed a man
Could miss someone so Goddamn much
Your picture I still clutch.
A picture stained with tears
Tears that no man should have to cry
Watching them grow over the years
The love in me, you can't deny
It hurts more with every goodbye
Goodbyes I'm forced to say everytime
My time is up and you have to go,
While I struggle just to save a dime,
What I wouldn't give to relive the long ago
A broken man still fighting to show
Fighting to show himself he's worthy
That his love for them won't let him quit
Even though the pain is other worldly
Throwing him in a random fit
The loss is suffocating, emotional tourniquate

So sad, SM. Your words are so sad and heartfelt. A beautiful but somber poem. If only you didnt have to say goodbye. Wish I had more I could say.--Christina
It's ok. I appreciate your kind words and sentiment. Thank you. From my heart.
SM,
This is heart wrenching! From a writer’s point of view, it’s beautifully written! The subject matter is very sad. I don’t know if you’re drawing from personal experience, but this individual is in pain. I hope he keeps fighting. He is worthy!
Personal experience, Laura. Unfortunately most of my poems, are personal experience. Thank you for the kind compliment.
this is obviously inspired and at the same time it is deeply touching and beautiful x
That is a very nice compliment. I love the fact that you said something so positive while I wrote about something so painfully negative. Thank you for showing your kindness.
