Be Careful What You Wish For

As the first fall rain spilled lightly through,
A tear rolled down his right cheek.
He was remembering the weight of your baby body
On his chest, in his hands, to his lips.
And now you're 24 and alone
Lying in a pool of your blood -
The weight of your body cursed,
You were too heavy to carry this far.
their dirty hands clasped around the arms he knew
From the day they formed.
They didn't know you as he did.
They got angry and hurt you -
Screaming and alone.
Alone
As you watch your shirt soak with hot blood -
Disillusioned thoughts, faces, words, colors,
You're hurting and your eyes close.
His lips will never again touch you -
Their last memory is telling you to go to hell.
Now he is crying on this cool rainy day in October.
You are dead.
And he is wondering if you really went to hell.
