Rhyming poem

My heart is being torn in two
The wound is still fresh, and stinging with pain
I just cannot seem to even begin to understand you.
Why aren’t we enough? Do we cause you shame?

Do not sign that paper.
Do not swear by that oath.
Please, just tell me, who am I to blame?

Why won’t you look deep into their eyes?
Why do you refuse to see the pain,
that I pray won’t lead to their demise?
I can feel the terror on their hearts. What could you possibly gain?

You are killing them!
You are never here or looking, but I see
the fear and torture I pray will mend.
But I fear that only a lifetime could even begin to slightly ease.

They do not deserve this,
they gave you nothing but love.
Yet not, I feel all our hopes throttling into a black abyss.
I just want to try to shield out the pain with my covers!

I hope this does not tear us beyond repair,
my heart could not begin to handle that.
I want to scream to everyone that this is not fair!
But I am helpless, and my screams silent.

I can only pray,
and hope in my dreams that this nightmare will go away!
Although I know, that when I awake,
I will be forced to cope with this horrible dream day after weary day.
