Patiently I wait for the pain to stop
For the blackness to overwhelm my fractious senses
For death to soothe my destroyed emotions
For silence to put an end to my indifferent pretenses
But even drug induced comas
or the chance of life, twice
Nor leaving my children or those who proclaim to care
are enough to make me want to remain here
I lost my daddy, Eric, Mr T
I betrayed myself & fell apart
I thought the DNA results would set me free
and mend my broken heart
but the universe unfolds, as indeed it should
although not always as we'd like or desire
and one day when I look back on this episode of life
I'll see that it was simply not my time, yet, to expire
