I've Never Felt So Useless..

by Sweet Disposition   Oct 3, 2007


I've never felt so useless,
As these tears fall down my face,
I'm begging God with all my heart,
To free me from this place.

I'm wailing uncontrollably,
And I feel my body break,
I hold myself so desperately,
I just can't stop this ache.

I think of you in your hospital bed,
Lying alone, waiting to die,
I'd give anything to be with you,
But my wish you just deny.

You want me to remember you,
As a happy, healthy man,
But that person died so long ago,
That I don't think I can.

So I sit and wait here helplessly,
For there's nothing I can do,
I know you'll soon be in paradise,
I just wish I could join you..

Written for Connor.

    Wow that was amazing..it's terrible to know a loved one is dying and there's nothing you can do about it..I'm sorry for you. But the poem was great...there's always an upside:)

    This was beautifully written...you conveyed the pain and despair very wll in this write.

    The imagery you created was wonderfully done, it painted very vivid pictures in my mind.

    Flow was flawless throughout the entire piece.

    I found this to be filled with such melancholy and heartbreaking to read, but a beautiful write nontheless.
