Let Go : Sad Poetry

Deep inside him is so black yet his heart is strong and red,

To sing out loud is a walk in the park and not hidden in his head.

He thinks who cares? This is my life, my stage I’m going to live it,

They can say what they like I have nothing to lose , my pride is so split.

He sits alone and thinks about the logic of it all,

Whatever happens it cannot hurt him because it wont be long.

The world can throw at him just whatever it may,

Touched by the hand of what we all see as decay.

Its time to do the things I’ve put off, challenges not faced,

It’s time to have allot of fun and escape this wayward place.

Looking at his reflection in the bathroom mirror,

Talking out loud to himself, when once it made him shiver.

I’m going to die he tells himself, there is nothing they can do,

My body’s immune to these pills, head spins, what can I do?

I’ll take my child to the fairground, buy ice cream, sweets, we’ll laugh,

I will hold my wife so very tight as these words pass through her heart.

I know its hard and I love you, we knew this day would come,

I’m so grateful that you were their for me to lean upon.

Please just let me see you smile and lay with you tonight?

Touch you, hold you so close to me until the morning light.

Every day pushes us further apart but our hearts embrace with might,

Look after our baby and look after yourself, don’t let yourself be denied.

There is a love and life out there for you when I die.

When you leave this life and lose your way, follow that warm light,

I’ll be there to guide you through the darkness and the blight.

I love you both, I’m not scared to show the feelings I once buried,

I am scared and I know that all I show is so rushed and hurried.

Read this and feel my presence whenever your alone,

Goodbye my love,

Goodbye my child,

All my love now and beyond.
