Poetry

The kids see the pain
Of broken hearted shame
Can’t handle this situation
Whose the one to blame?
Your bleeding from the blade
In which you hold
Trying to keep love alive
Is what you told…
Without letting go
 
Holding to tight
Holding to tight
Something isn’t right…
So vulnerable
We all see you’re hurting
With expressions masked by a smile
Living with this deception
Feeling unsafe when you’re around
We’ve made history
With plenty of love and good laughs
We've battled disappointments,
And saw happiness flow,
while failure crippled the harmony we once sowed 
So a blade you hold within your hand
Your kids see you, but don’t understand
You’re a man!
 
A father…
A  friend…
My confidant
So your throat you want to cut
Suicide is the final… front.
Not caring what your family has to say…
Were all affected the same way
Giving up, watch it go away
The kids see you, but don’t understand
They just don’t understand…
That their daddy is only… A man!
