Tears Poem by Milton Wayne

December 2016 still plays in my mind.
Waking up, never seeing your reflection drain my emotions.
Every day, I cried tears.
At work but I lost focus.
Supervisor staring me down.
Heading to restroom crying every day.
Thinking about you and how we will reunited soon.
Never forgot the last time we was together.
Watching channel 8, seeing families hug and you embrace me with a hug.
Called the phone but the number change.
Email saying where you at but no response so I felt destroyed.
January to February to March and so on.
Lost weight cause I couldn't eat.
Opened my eyes, look at the ceiling shedding tears.
The doctor walk in the room and smiled at me.
Momma touch my heart made me complete again.
Stood up but light on my feet.
Felt like someone was stabbing me deep.
False promises to work it out.
6 months and counting down.
Heard about a newborn but lost it in reach.
Cutting me deep.
Woke up at 4: 30 am every morning, the same time you tap me on my head just to get in bed, so I took your clothes out the closet and held it close to me because it was the only thing that made me feel your heart beat.
Cried in the dark but lost it all and my spirit too.
2018 and I'm better now.
Gain weigh and a good job.
Bless Now.
Talk to you doing this month.
Now, I'm happy now.
But it still bleed deep.
Thinking about you.
I love you.
From Daddy
