William Darnell Sr Poet Prose

You'll Always Be My Tomorrow

It came so suddenly the choice you have chosen,
It wasn't an intention; none of this seems to be true
It was Thanksgiving Day, and the kids were about it 
I wouldn't say I like it either, or you're not here. I walked away.

Though the tragedy that has happened and the wrong that is,
I must find my way out of this, my placement; I staked it on me
It has been a horrible journey that I hadn't planned to take
That day I turned my back, and I walked on away.

We were already in separation; I was not in preparation. 
I couldn't talk you out of it, this decision that you made
I'm sorry I couldn't make you see; we were always to be that team
I didn't see you differently; I had seen you more appropriately.

Many years later, it's with my disgust,
I understand now; why didn't you trust me?
You were my wife then, 
You still will be my tomorrow.

Shannon, it's in my heart always to love you! R.I.P

Constance La France November 13, 2020 at 6:09 AM William, there is no greater pain than lost love, good write _ Constance William Darnell Sr November 14, 2020 at 7:01 AM Constance, She and my children, was my dream, my only dream that I held in my heart, and someone stole that from me and ripped it straight from my chest. Had I just firmly put my foot down regardless of what her mother was going through with that mixed up brother of hers, this tragic event that happened never would have come to pass. With this being said, please have a beautiful day. Best of Wishes, William
