The world is better with someone to share it <br />It’s heavy as hell when you’re the only one to bare it <br />So you barely hanging on, <br /> <br />Even the smallest things make you the most embarrassed <br />Until you just can’t bear it and you’re buried in a hole <br />Just wanting to be whole, just wanting to hold <br /> <br />A hand from another human-being, <br />A hug when you need it <br />A soft voice to calm your last nerve <br /> <br />A shoulder when you find it hard living <br />Because your momma living in her last days <br />Emotions all caught up, <br />And you caught in a bad way <br /> <br />Just trying to find your way in a world so blinding, <br />None can see the future so it’s blind leading the blind <br />And despite your best efforts her condition only gets worse <br />But why die today, all in due timing <br /> <br />What I wouldn’t do just to get that time back <br />What I wouldn’t do just to get peace of mind that <br />You’re forever fine, and forever mine <br />Forever and forever and forever more <br /> <br />But nothing’s more further from the truth <br />So I pray more father can we truce <br />Spare today but she’s gone tomorrow <br />The time we have is all sorrow <br />So much that it hurts me soul <br />So I’ll sell mine just to hear her say my name <br />But some say it’s worthless, <br />So the pain will forever remain<br /><br />Darrin McMiller Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inglorious-saturday/
