The Untitled Poem

Inspired by Muht
Written by Me
Dedicated to D.
In Loving Memory of Jeremy

Don’t give me that look
Like you know everything
Like you can judge me
And my every sin
I won’t hide it
But I’m not proud
I’ve done many things
You’d not have allowed
You see me as I am
You get what you see
I've been this same way
Since the day he left me

It okay
Daddy’s here
In my arms
Never fear
I’ll fight the monsters
And come back home
Just remember, son
You are never alone

Today was hard
I took him in
They did their tests
He gave his grin
He’s daddy’s slugger
He’s my little man
I’ll shave my head like his
And do what I can
They’ll run more test
Try more cures
As his smile fades
I can’t endure

It okay
Daddy’s here
In my arms
Never fear
I’ll fight the monsters
And come back home
Just remember, son
You are never alone

The shovel’s heavy
The ground was cold
Today I buried him
He was five years old
My blood runs thin
My heart has died
The pain so deep
All tears now cried
Then I remember
That fateful day
When he looked so scared
And I hear me say

It okay
Daddy’s here
In my arms
Never fear
I’ll fight the monsters
And come back home
Just remember, son
You are never alone
You are never alone
