I...
     wasn't there when he died
     didn't cry with you beside his bed
            hold your hand and wrap my arm around your shoulder.
I...
     never thought I'd have to face death
           imagined I'd ever grow old enough to see it
     was scared I wouldn't be ready
                I'd say something wrong.
I...
     stayed away while they put him in that tomb
     covered my ears to the crying
     walked away and pretended not to care.

         When it's my time will you do the same for me
         and hide your face as payment for what I
         did to you or will you
                hurt me by showing me love
      stab me in the heart even though I won't feel
      any guilt by that time

                                 Or will all of you
                                 be dead and gone
                 as I breathe my last bewildered breath
                 dying my last death


  never having...
                  understood
                  anything in the world or
                  anyone?

Again, your talent shines through. Not only are your words moving and meaningful, but the layout you use adds so much more, making it a marvelous poem. Keep writing!
