Tears - 12/23/05

Tears

12/23/05

I wish all of the tears I’ve shed could heal you.

I would gladly trade places if that meant you would be yourself again.

Day after day I’ve watched you

Suffering

In pain

No longer the same man you were before this all started.

I keep asking you to fight

But I’m not sure if it is because I want that for you

Or that I want it for me.

Need it for me.

My tears are not just for your suffering.

They are my feeble attempt to fill this void in my heart.

I can see in your face and in your eyes the pain that you are in.

And I know that you are enduring it for me.

I want you to know

That I will not be mad at you if you can not endure it anymore.

I understand

Even through my tears.

The thought of losing you is overwhelming

But then I think of your pain

Your suffering

And I can no longer ask you to hang on.

Daddy I will understand

Even through my tears.
