Grandpa
You’re
gone.
What
happened?
You
said you’d always be there for me.
I
wasn’t ready for you to leave.
There
was so much we never got to do.
Now,
I can only hope that you’re having fun up there,
Above
the clouds and beyond the stars,
Where
time ceases to exist.
I’m
still here.
I
can’t say that I didn’t expect it,
I
just wish we’d had more time,
To
see you once more,
Before
it was too late.
I
don’t understand,
What
went wrong?
You
were fine the other day,
But…
I
MISS YOU!
My
hand shakes,
As
I put my pen to this paper to express how I feel,
But
even attempting to write what I can’t say is impossible.
My
vision blurs,
As
little shimmering stars streak down my face,
But
they are ants compared to my elephant-sized feelings.
I
don’t know what to do.
You
could always make me laugh when I was sad,
And
you would endlessly help me when I was confused.
I
regret that we didn’t talk as much.
I’m
so sorry!
I
know that it isn’t my fault,
But
I had to say something,
And
I’m lost.
I
love you,
And
I’ll always need you…
But
we can’t help it.
When
the Grim Reaper decides to visit,
He
won’t be ignored.
We’re
you at least happy?
Near
the end?
I
hope so,
But
there’s no way to truly tell.
I
hate that we all have to die alone,
But
I know there’s nothing to help that.
My
stable life is crumbling,
But
in its place,
A
new one is beginning to sprout.
I
wish you were here,
That
I could tell you how much I love you in person,
And
you can comfort me
As
I cry into your shirt over something stupid,
But
you’re not.
It’s
too late.
All
I have left of you are the memories,
The
ones that make tears fall from my burning eyes,
And
that just makes me miss you even more.
I
just wish that I could say this one last thing to you,
Before
you left.
Goodbye,
Grandpa…
I
miss you.
