LOVE HURTS (TROUBLED TIMES)



(An Actor)

An experience in my life that I can never forget, nor really comprehend, was the breakdown a close friend endured very early in adulthood. I was told stuff by the medics, but knew only that we both were bewildered at the time and, with hindsight, emotionally bonded. I tried to remain "strong" and "chipper" but still feel I let them down. This poem was one of many from that time.


If you think of dying
don't leave me alone,
tell me in the morning,
or warn me on the phone.

If you want to leave this world,
just want to get away,
I think I'd like to come along,
but maybe not today.

If you want to leave me
try to tell me why,
so I can understand you,
as I begin to die.

Though you have your troubles
and suffering we are,
call me anyway,
we'll chat in the car.

Above all else,
and this is paramount,
know you are my Chessy
loved,
without a doubt.
