It Hit Me Today...(an excerpt of a poem by Raymond Tyler Jr.)

Raymond Tyler Sr. Holding (me) ...Raymond Tyler Jr.

 

 

 

It Hit Me Today

It Hit Me Today
like the weight of 40 plus years

and

the wait of...40 years plus

IT...Hit Me ...
That You are really GONE...
NOWHERE
except for

the old pictures wearing

new suits

I will sometimes see you

through the tears in my minds eye

when I choose to stand up to the pain

but the drugs they make to manage that pain

is so much more worse than the cause of it

but

it feels like being run over by car when
It Hits Me...

that our last hug

was our last hug

 

The Rest Of This Poem Will Be Out In My Next Book Of Poetry Due out Later This year!
