For me...

The Time lingers with this new task before you
It drags as you sit down and think.
Taking this up, rattles you, confuses you, terrifies you
It's something you never imagined doing alone.
As you linger in thoughts of your new life
your mind begins to play memories of your painful last.
Once again cracking away the steps you took to move on
You remember the promise you promised her that sweet night long ago, together forever.
Now you sit in the empty bed, cold... Alone and haunted by memories.
Tour hands tremble, lungs lose grasp of the air, eyes grow watery
You lose yourself in your own misery ...... Until you hear your baby's cry.
You find yourself lost no longer
In a different memory now..
The baby cries, bloody and scraped
Your wife gasps and whimpers.
Your mind tries to show you something else
The memory of your great life before it ended.
You watch her give birth to your beautiful baby girl
You two bring in a life in that cold November night
Tragic how only one was meant to stay.
You gaze down at you hand, finding only a ring that promised you to her
an empty promise now.
You see your hands steering the wheel of you car.
Your excitement takes over as you drive you beautiful wife and new baby girl home.
You lean for a kiss
you gaze back at her
They both have the same deep sea blue eyes
Then it all ends...
You feel the force of the blow and realize what has happened.
You craw out of the flipped car
You craw to your love...
Suddenly the baby cries in her crib and you come back to reality
You stand, and you stagger to the crib as you wipe your tears.
There she is, you stare down at the final gift your love gave you
She gave you love, she gave you happiness
Then she gave up her life...
The baby opens her blue orbs; just like she once use to.
You pick it up, feel it's warmth flow through your hands.
You kiss your baby and tame her cries..
Then you remember what she said to you as her fading blue eyes gaze up at you.
"Please my Love"
Your love dies in your torn hands
Your heart is torn as she lingers away.
Your baby reaches up and holds you.
And your mind plays her last wish...

"Please my Love..Be the best that you can be..
Be the man I love, be the best for our sweet baby..
Take care of her and tell her mommy loves her..
Please be the best that you can be...
For me..."

I am NOT a poet..
I never claimed to be and never will be..
This is just a sad attempt to write a poem
