Husband Death Poem

Alone with the raging in my soul,
I know not where to turn.
I have opened up to some,
But this raging makes me burn.

My heart and soul are screaming,
But I try to hold it in,
For, they make me feel I'm wrong,
That my hurt is like a sin.

I am fighting for a way,
To be not weak and small.
But my pain is not subsiding,
Please someone hear my call!

I've done what they have asked,
Tried going down their path.
But they know not why I'm hurting,
They haven't felt the wrath.

I look to them sincerely,
I TRY to help them SEE,
But, they just don't understand it,
So they choose to leave me be.

I long to just be normal,
Then maybe they'll accept,
The reasons why I need them,
The reason why I've wept.

The demons they hold strong,
As, they've broken my life down.
Are they afraid of these monsters?
Is that why they seem to frown?

I'm afraid to admit,
The help that I need.
I don't want them to know,
That in my pai I BLEED.

I have learned how to live
With many kinds of pain,
But, I will never let,
My husband die in vain.

Because he was unkind,
So many years before,
I think his death, they want me,
To move on and IGNORE.

Tyrone can you hear me?
Can you please let them know,
That special part of you
That I just can't let go?

Is anybody listening?
Does anybody SEE?
Help me put to rest, my Ty,
Please help to set me free!
