There is Nothing like Death
Thursday, January 21, 2021
It Wasn't Supposed to Be Like This
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS.
Gaping hole
Empty arms
Solo parenting.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Walking alone
Scared of the dark
Searching for Love.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Telling our daughter
You don't have a body
Daddy lives in the Spirit World.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Screaming in anger
Losing my shit
Sobbing and shaking
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Turning on TV
Sitting her down
Walking away to work
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Your love was perfect
My heart was so happy
Our daughter was born
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
You suffered in pain
The doctors, they came
Cancer to blame.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
We'll fix you, they said
But our hearts filled with dread
Knowing, deep down, what neither of us said.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Four months is too young
To understand lungs
Or death.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
I screamed to my sister
And railed at the universe
But still, my world shattered.
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
You had the wisdom
I was the idiot
What fool decided to make me sole parent?
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
The things people said
Made me scream in my head
"What kind of God would let you be dead????"
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
If I lay down in the snow
Eventually I'll go
But no
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Baby Girl needs her Mama
She's lived enough pain
It's time to stand up
Start walking again
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
I walked almost blindly
Acted too kindly
But stubbornly kept going
Tripping and falling
As predators kept calling
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Wolves in sheep clothing
Are never your friends
Take out the trash
Hold on to your cash
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
New friends walk beside
Step in and don't hide
Embrace your truth
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
A village springs up
And a burden is shared
Experienced moms
Step in all prepared
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
And so they gave respite
Knowing full well
That life up to now was just living hell
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Gently, with love
They taught better ways
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
The yelling could cease
Joy could increase
Stress could decrease
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
Slowly, with time
I emerged from the grime
And set down this rhyme
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS
