Heart sick

The news hit me
Like a punch in the gut
I threw up two times
From the pain
Knowing that I
Couldn’t be there with you
 
We say
My heart will be with you
We don’t realize
How painful that is
For your heart
To be so far away

(2015)

Proverbs 13:12
'Expectation postponed makes the heart sick'
