Why Didn't I

This is a poem about how I am feeling at this point in my life after losing my wife.

Yes it is melancholy but it is also therapeutic.

*****

Why am I so lonely

when I see

so many are here?

Why am I hearing you laughing

 when I know

you are not there?

Why can't I smile to others

when asked

how do I feel?

Why can't I care for friends

like she did

feeding them with a meal?

Why didn't I hold onto to you

tightly

with all my might?

Why didn't I kiss you endlessly

so you couldn't let go

that dreadful frightful night?

Why didn't I

*****

This is,

Time For Me To Go Cry Now

Happy Birthday Honey

Jim Hauenstein

- Lao Tzu -

 

I do have to say that today is also a happy occasion because my second oldest daughter was born on the same day as my wife.

We will be celebrating her birthday this afternoon.

 

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
