No Papi Poem by Dakota Ellerton

They're supposed to make me smile
they're supposed to make me happy
nothing can do that
now that I have no papi

I feel so sick
That I can't sleep
I toss and I turn
I try counting sheep

These pills make me feel
like I do everyday
only they show more signs
and give the ending away

I miss him so much
more then I can say
I'm sorry, I love you
and miss you everyday

My body is frail
so very weak
My body has reached its limits
it's hit the peak

My heart always aches
my head always pounds
now my body does too
Until I've hit the ground
