A Family Tearing Apart

Since the tragic death of my son
The pain and suffering has just begun
I write my poems to help others feel
In order to try and make myself heal
We argue that he was to blame
He took his life it was his game
To me it was the opposite of that
His emotions destroyed his life flat
Now all of a sudden his kids come into the scene
I cant believe how they could do this and be so mean
Its been five and a half years and not a single word
Now all of a sudden this must be obsurd
My children want to see Robbie's kids again
I went through this before and got hurt in the end
How would I tell his twins who've been kept from me
Who is their daddy and why they cant see
What were they told the years we wernt there
They filled their heads with lies they don't care
Now I'm the bad guy and they don't understand
I was the one who cut him down with my hands
Yes I know their loss is and know it is real
They just don't know how I really feel
Get on with your life and let Robbie be
I cant they don't know that I am not free
I'm the one they say who is driving us apart
I just wish they could look into my heart
Yes I know he took his own life
They didn't find him late that night
All I wish is that they knew
That my love for then is true
