Left Without...
 

It's been said
That silence is golden
Sometimes it is
But other times
My eyes
Are just begging
Your lips
To let the words escape
Roll off your tongue
And past your teeth
So that I can hear
What I need to
When the tears
Rolling down my face
Are screaming your name
Let the words escape!!!
Stop, stopping yourself!!!
My ears are eagerly anticipating
The thoughts that may exit
On your breath...

I also know
That at times
There are no words
For what you're feeling
Sometimes
Nothing can be said
While you're witnessing
So much emotion
Hospitals are often places
Where this kind of pain
Begs silence
Of the rest of us
I know, because the night
He left
There were no words
No comfort could I give
I had hoped
That my presence
Was enough
To show
My love

I hope you all understood
That while I was there
And silently stared
My life was forever
Changed
By your pain
I want to be there
For every one of you
Every time
That happens
In your life
I selfishly hope though,
That I have my turn
First
So that I'll not be left
Without...
