All I ask
Is give me time,
My family's loss just hit me hard
As I try to write this rhyme.
I hope you all understand
I need to take a few days off,
I know I just got back here
But this time, it's rough.
I can't seem to
Take all of this pain,
My tears are streaming
They fall like rain.
It's my little brother's birthday today
I know times for him are rough,
If I were to see him today
A hug just wouldn't be enough.
I know for sure, I wouldn't be able
To keep the tears in,
But, if he needs a cry too
I'll open my heart and let him in.
Please forgive me
My heart's not here just right,
Just give me time, is all I ask
My heart feels heavy tonight.

Please forgive me everyone for leaving my post for a few days. I'll get back here as soon as I can. My brother's loss is hitting me extremely hard. I'm sorry.
I'm a MOD on another site and this is what I wrote.
