Dr. Pittard
he was
by my side
through it all
and I knew
he’d see me through
come what may
he knew my fears
even if I never said
he sensed it
like he did
with so many
before
with so many
after
but it was more
than that
more than I would admit
my mother died
giving birth to me
that’s what I always believed
always would
nine months …
of being afraid
then I heard her cry
and he was by my side
telling me how good I did
then he sewed me back up
and my life began
that day
eight years later
he’s the one
who needs to be sewed back up
it’s his heart
that needs mending
no doctor can cure
and I wish there were something
but there’s nothing you can do or say
when someone you love so
passes away
