I wanted to scream 

I wanted to cry

I wanted to not to have to grieve you

I wanted you to say that you were sorry

I wanted you to love me.. I was just a child

Instead I watched as life left your body and your eyes grew cold to meet death, .. and as your soul left this earth I held your hand, forgave you and said goodbye.

I don’t want this grief anymore, I don’t want to mourn you.
