CRY LIKE I CRIED
My daughter passed 29 years’ ago, at the age of 6 weeks. I tortured myself trying to move through those emotions. I have just recently discovered the pain of losing her is never going away. It is always in the back of my mind. Somedays it is brought to the front by a baby being born or a child’s cry and several other little things most people bypass. When that happens now, I can let it be there without beating myself up. Writing helps keep me grounded and allows me to express my emotions. 29 years’ sounds like a long time ago, but in the mind of a parent, 29 years’ ago is every morning.
Woke up today
Pulled your photo
from the drawer
I understand now
life and loss
a lot more
No more in vain
will I let you be
Baby of mine
life left in me
Do they see what I see
Have they cried
like I cried
Have they hurt
like I hurt
Have they tried
like I tried
When they look in the mirror
What do they see
When I look
it’s all
looking back
at me.
Do you see
what I see
Cry like I cry
Hurt like I’ve hurt
Try like I try
When you step
do you step
with the same heavy weight
Carry it all
Every step that you take
Do you see what I see
Cry like I cried
Hurt like I hurt
Try like I tried
Did you drink like I did
Each bottle to hide
Push it away
And lie like I lied
Did you ever feel lost
in the big world outside
Wash it away
with a turn of a tide
Were you afraid
sad and scared
as I was
Did you try to drown
yourself in that buzz
Just like me
did you sit
Asking why
God why
Like me
were you lost
No goodbye
No goodbye
Do you see what I see
Cry like I cry
Hurt like I hurt
Try like I try
If you know what I mean
the pain
the sorrow
My faith I will share
My faith you can borrow
I’ll hold your hand
I’ll be there
and love you
I know the walk
in the dark you go through
Sometimes it hurts
to move through the pain
The sun will shine
You can dance in the rain
Until that day comes
I’ll be by your side
Friends til the end
Together we rise.
Do you see what I see
Cry like I’ve cried.
Hurt like I hurt
Try like I’ve tried.

I see her in the clouds.
