Happy Musings of my Inner Critic

Heartbroken

I knew it was coming

I saw all the signs

I chose to ignore them

To have faith

in Divine

Then the news came

All the same

Stage 4

But not at death's door

So many feelings

Flutter and fly

I try to catch them

Like a butterfly

Anger

Hurt

Sadness

Hope

Wondering how

I will cope.

Feeling Selfish

It's not about me.

2-3 years they say,

After Chemo

Radiation

And drug therapy.

Still, he puts on a brave face.

I want to beg,

"Please stay longer...

Just for a while.

I know it's inevitable

To have to say goodbye

But I'm just not ready

Please, God. Why?"

The tears

The pleas

Remain unspoken

For now, I am 

just

Heartbroken.
