Poetry from a Decaying Mind

Think the World Of

We met, like others often do

When we were teens, nothing new

She was young and adventurous, the perfect girl

Me, I was shy as anything, she took me for a whirl

Life went on, as it often does, we grew apart

We found ourselves again, a fresh new start

For years we lived, laughed, and loved each other

Everything seemed to be going so perfect, so well

Great news came to us, a baby boy along the way

He was brought into our life, he's loved to this day

In a life so perfect, you'd think it was a fairy tale

Well unlike those stories this tale does fail

To tell you we lived happily ever after

Would be a lie, I would prefer laughter

After having our child I grew terribly ill

The news came as a shock, a force to take us apart

They found a tumor lodged deep inside my brain

I had to stay strong for us, for she left to cry in the rain

As the months went by I began to feel more and more weak

It seemed like my end was coming, it was bleak

One day I fell asleep and didn't wake up for weeks

When I did she was there, her smile shined

We knew our time was running out

We knew I would pass soon, no doubt

The doctor said there's a experimental surgery

It was our only chance what were we to say

We accepted the offer for this chance of life

Though we knew what our ending would become

All day we talked about our past, present, and future

She held me hand as we laughed, cried, and loved

She was very quiet when the doctors came for me

I held her close and told her that it was meant to be

When I die, my love, I will not be far

Just look up into the sky, where ever you are

I'll be there with you and our son

We'll see each other again in the long run

Go ahead and rest, when you wake

I'll be right next to you, asleep or awake

Do not weep for you filled my days with love

It's always been you who I think the world of
