My Grief
I appreciate what you're trying to do
trying to understand
what I'm going through
but really now
can you truly understand this?
No.
The Pain I suffer
is one you can't understand
unless you experience it yourself.
The loss of not only my spouse
but my newborn baby as well…
that is something that no one
can understand
Five minutes is all the time
that I got to be with my son.
Sure he lived a full two hours
but that was the only bit
of time I got with him
I… I didn't even get to hold him!
He was born at twenty three weeks
the doctor said
that he gave my little boy, at most
twenty four hours to live.
My heart shattered into
millions of pieces that littered the
ground around my feet.
All I could do was sob
and beg the lord for a miracle
that wasn't to be.
I know that when
you say you understand
my grief
that you are only trying to help
but I wish you would quit trying to be so helpful.
I really need to be left to
grieve in my own way.
I don't need your pity
I swear I'll slap
the next person who says
"I'm sorry about your family"
I don't need to be reminded of it at every turn
Reminded of what could have been
if only they had lived.
Maybe I am being bitter,
but I don't think that it's wrong
to want to move on with my life,
To dream of maybe, in my own way,
helping keep another woman from suffering
like I have.
The End
