Heartbreak
How long will this go on.
How long will we hang on a thread
The suspense is like a raging storm
How long will he lay suffering on that bed
Will he live in pain for long
Or will he leave this world of pain
Will he stay with all his children
Or will he go to where God reins
I'm torn on what to want
Should I hope he stays with me
I don't want my grandpa to go away
But that is thinking selfishly
Should I wish he leaves this world
So he can live without pain
Should I want him to go away
So he will never suffer again
The decision is a hard one
But I have finally picked a side
I want him to go to live in heaven
So with God, he can reside.
This choice broke my heart
I don't want him to die
But here his body will soon fail him
I just hope he won't leave without a goodbye.
This poem is very sentimental to me, even more so than any of my other ones. I wrote it for my grandpa who's dying from stage 4 lung cancer and stage 4 skin cancer. So if it doesn't make sense, it's because only I know what I really mean.
