I Didn't Know Poem by Clyde King

I Didn't Know



I didn't know
How you suffered.
When you told me
"I have no life"
I couldn't process it.
All l knew was that
Your life was over
For all practical purposes.
I was helpless
Because I couldn't
Change anything.
Seeing you lying
There day after day,
Week after week,
Year after year,
I died with you.
Now I know.
Now that you're gone
I'm gone too.
Why keep on?
Love is as
Strong as death is...
