Don't Tell Me

Please don't tell me you know how I feel, unless you have lost your child too.

Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal, because that is just not true.

Please don't tell me my son is in a better place, though it is true, I want him here with me.

Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face because beyond today, I cannot see.

Don’t tell me it is time to move on, because I cannot.

Don’t tell me to face the fact he is gone, because denial is something I can't stop.

Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had, because I wanted more.

Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad, because i'll never be as I was before.

What you can tell me is you will be here for me, that you will listen when I talk of my child.

You can share with me my precious memories, you can even cry with me for a while,

And please don't hesitate to say his name,

Because it is something I long to hear everyday

Friend please realize that I can never be the same.

But if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday.
