It Is In Your Eyes Poem by Daniel McCann

What I want to know is
how you can just sit and watch him die?
how you can not help him?
You don't go to see him you don't even try.

I can not help but think
Its because he didn't raise you well
he was too fond of drink
yet he was also fond of you, I can tell.
It is in your eyes.

I want to drink with you
because I have many things to say
with advice to give you
because he has regrets you will have one day.

And I want you to know
your mistakes did not just come from him
your mum did choose to go
we are watching him die hasn't it gone in?

It is in your eyes
When he never did help,
your hatred and fear is not stoppin
havn't you asked yourself?
If you will help carry his coffin?

What I want to know is,
is if you can forgive and just try?
Can you care and help him?
As you watch, are you too scared to help him die?

It is in your eyes.
