Grab me a box of Kleenex its so pathetic I have tears

You know I can't honestly say this isn't a good poem but I am sitting here thinking about what the doctor just told me .... and this is all I can write ...

I never thought

That news of a death

Would bring me to tears

Nor did I ever consider that

The tragic ending

That cripples me

Would be that of my own life

 

I never thought

That my days

Were numbered to a few

Nor that I would beg

For a second chance

To start over new

And right my wrongs

 

I never thought

That a goodbye

Would make me choke

Nor that I had such a short time

To get to know you

So I ultimately could say

Goodbye

 

Author's Note

say whatever you want .... I honestly don't care

Deaths are always hard to deal with, and words to describe it are scarcely found. I think that this poem was extremely personal, and the fact that you set aside everyone's opinion to just express your feelings is admirable. My hat comes off and you have my condolences for your loss.

I can see that this is old, but is it true? You're dying?
I don't really see the point in talking about the poem with something so much more overwhelming.
Wow..but don't let regret get in the way.
No one should waste energy on regret, it solves nothing..

WOW
Is this true? VERY SAD
It is a powerful stance of mortality!

Hey that was very nice, and sad at the same time, i hope that whatever the doctor told you was not bad, good luck..

My dear lady ... how tragic ... the words are irrelevant compared with the facts ..... what can I say ......
