My Last Attempt At A Truce Poem by raechael woodroof

For almost 32yrs you and I have been one.
Every crawl, step and climb. Every bruise every strain, we got stronger together in spite of the pain.
We have been through more than most do people will know
And though I am hard on you I hope you can see that all that I do is simply for you even when it hurts me.

I am sorry I haven't ate only the best, and I smoke and must say: CARDIO IS A BITCH. I don't get enough sleep or enough vitamins and still have the audacity to make this request......

Please be good you to me just a little while longer! !
Please don't tear apart and break down! !
Please find it within you to find within me
A way for new strength to be found,
For although I abuse you I lay at your mercy
Please don't lose all hope in me! !

I will stop drinking and smoking so much
I will eat better and exercise too
I promise if you will just give me more time
I will take better care of you.

These new pains and strains and disease that slipped past
Are ok, I forgive you, it's fine!
If you keep pulling us down at this fast of a rate I don't think
You and I have much time!

I have done it before!
Turned it around, gotten healthy and strong!
With every new thing you add on to me
The heal time just keeps piling on!

I am sure you think you are helping by attacking the bits inside that are new, but what if I told you all your flare ups and attacks are making them home in on you?

They've seen us struggling, but boy did we try to go on in life like it was all fine, and now they are coming with needles and knives and no matter how much I Wish, Pray or Cry you just keep on fumbling!

So please hear me as I beg while the clock counts ever downward:
Just give me more time, let me show I care,
Please don't leave me wailing and broken down here! !
There are so many thing we can see we can do take the kids along even!
Hell they are a big reason too that I just need more time, I will take all extra days before you throw in the towel and leave me this way,
but boy do I know no matter what I say only in action can this be held at bay.

Please try to listen to my final plea:

I beg of you BODY DON'T BREAK DOWN ON ME! ! !
