A Pause for Reflection – A Poem

Is there a name

For this hole in my chest?

Whom do I blame;

And whom do I lay rest?

 

With every man, every boy

I realize and it makes me sick;

I am nothing like my mother.

Is it a curse? Or some cruel trick?

 

For every star in the sky,

There is a pause in my heartbeat.

And surely when I die,

I’ll be standing upright on my feet.

 

There are millions of other boys and girls,

But I’ll always want you, as my sorrow unfurls.
