I need to think, and I need to write.
Cause what I say, doesn't come out right.
I can't laugh, yet I can't cry.
All I can do is wonder why.
A man is gone, and that's a fact.
No amount of wishing will bring him back.
He left family and friends who now must deal
With the pain that's all too real.
Most who knew him are taking this rough,
while others only want his stuff.
If he were here, we all should know,
support for his wife he'd gladly show.
Yet as long as you-know-who puts his wife to the test
This great man in peace can't rest.
What I'd like to say, what this poem means,
LEAVE IT ALONE! HE'S NOT IN HIS THINGS!
((please be honest in your critiques. and does anyone have any ideas for a title...and one more thing...should I enter this in a local poetry contest?))
