On the Morning When I found you Dead

by bags123

On the morning when I found you dead
Dried blood below your nose had bled
I screamed in anguish by your bed
with thoughts of prayers I’d left unsaid

The night before I rubbed your back
I felt your pain, and heard it crack
You bravely spoke of these attacks
As merely one of life’s sidetracks

And when that night I left your side
I promised you time would abide
To mend your body mortified
Returning strength I had implied

On the morning when I found you dead
I held you tight I kissed your head
I wiped my tears on your bedspread
with thoughts of prayers I’d left unsaid.

I have come to the conclusion that I just can't read poems like this because I;m so sensitive and I just cry and cry. It's wonderful bags and I really felt the pain in your piece, and yes, I cried! I'm such a weenie. Great job!
