Could Be Anywhere...

For Andrew

Why does love bite?
Why does it cost so much?
Why do these tears...burn?
Once was told,
“tomorrow shall be ours, my love
I shall, we shall, forever.”

Why given these lies?
Why did she...I’m broken.
Why am I worthless, betrayed?
Once was told,
“our future is bright and shiny
I shall love thee, forever.”

Why this horrible death?
Why am I broken, cold, dead?
Why is the pain...burning again?
Once was told,
“We have a love eternal
our plans will last, forever.”

Now, so much ashes on my brain
the future is garbage, thrown away
all seems so very lost, broken.
Father to father am told,
“Don’t give up, time will heal
never forget...you are loved,
forever.”

"Tis ink coming
from his arm,
Captain!"

Dear Dan,
  Lovely are your words in poem but so sad, your heart from which they came. Remember, it's always darkest before dawn & Andrew's Dad loves him very much, as you penned your heart in this poem. You will be in my prayers.       Love,  Marcy

This is just beautiful, and very timely for me.  Both of my sons are in the same place as Andrew, one was engaged for 2 years, the other only going out for a few months...but, the same heartache.  I've tried to talk to them, but now I will show them this...if you don't mind.  You have written a wonderful poem, so full of heartfelt feeling.  Thanks for sharing it.  Bonnie

Daniel~
Dad's are like that -
Yeah, they are !

'“Don’t give up, time will heal
never forget...you are loved,
forever.”


Sound advice, dad !
A big hug to 'son'.

Thank you ladies for the imput
and support.  It tears a parent
up to see a child going through
what we know to be the worst
emotional pain there is, eh?
Thanks again...
