Dear Grandfather
August 1, 2016
was a day i could never forget
a day where my heart filled with regret...
i remembered that day like it was yesterday,
i heard the air depart from your lungs & you wheezing trying to gain the oxygen that was left but it already had left you.
that day i wish i could have left too.
because you were my rock even though i never told you.
you were my father when my real one was gone too.
dear grandfather,
im sorry i never told you how much i loved you , im sorry i made it seem like it didnt love you , but grandpa i love you.
i miss you most of all because when i needed a laugh i know you were the one to call
but when you would call me i was never there for you , i made it seem like i didnt care for you.
i wish i had just a little more time with you because i would have made the most if it, i would have enjoyed every piece of it.
i know in your last days you weren't yourself, you had changed and turned into a man i never met
but behind your beautiful eyes, my hero lied
to his day i don't know how much tears i cried but i promise you i try to make piece with it but i cant piece together why he chose you over me to be gone with it.
when times get hard i look up to the sky and ask god why?
life ain't the same without you, how am i living without you?
i miss you
i promise you ill make you proud, and when i read my poetry ill read it firm and loud.
i never got to read a piece to you but i wrote this to come to piece with you .
