It Broke Her Life

A pair of hazel eyes Meet his muddy brown His arms strain to push His body up He breathes He stops He stares He can not do it The teenage girl Sits beside him on his bed The girl asks in a cheerful voice, “How are you doing today?” He looks at her And only stares He can’t hear her voice He raises his hands and spreads Them out I love my son as much as the size of an alligator I love my grandson as much as the size of a fish I love my granddaughter as much as the size of a bullfrog He smiles she smiles back And the teenage girl hugs him He starts to cry He whispers in her ear I see her Isabelle She’s waiting I’m ready please I wanna die The girls body shakes The girl leaves the room And goes to the door next to his her room Her sanctuary She feels the throbbing heart beat out of her chest It hurts She cries She hears it everyday his mission His only mission to die So he doesn’t suffer So he can see his wife That once strong willed Stubborn man Begging to die Until his last breath that wife and husband both died in the same year raised by them all her life it broke her life
