I Sit and Look Out

A poem I wrote about Caleb for English class. I'm horrible at writing poems. We had to read them in front of the class. Strangely it was really hard for me and I ended up almost crying in front of everyone. It was sad.

I Sit and Look Out

I sit and look out at the pouring rain

My mood matches the solemn music of the seemingly endless storm

So many things I do not understand

The art of a heart parting leaves behind only saddness

When I first heard the news I felt my heart thud and still my heart beats painfully

The harshness of reality and life and death weigh heavily upon my spirit

Busying myself with tasks I hide behind my mask hoping no one should ask of my invisable tears

I miss sweet Caleb, the baby who never opened his eyes

For nine months waiting to meet you, you left so suddenly

And though we never talked still do send your love from above

My heart aches and now wears a new crack

I wish you hadn't had to go

I sit and look out, imgaining your face

Sleep well with the angels darling

My heart will never forget
