A poem about a dead father

by nouriguess   Dec 9, 2019


There are mornings
when I wake up
and in my thoughts,
you aren't dead yet.
In these few seconds
before the truth
hits me like a bite of frost,
my eyes pretend to see you
coming into the room,
putting covers on me,
kissing my cheek,
for one more time.

    This is one of the poems, where you find yourself unable to leave a comment. The memory of a beloved one that still feels so fresh, and is still and will always linger around.

    I gasped after reading this part, and suddenly became chilly. The part is what made me grasp the feelings within this poem.
    This is a sad and impactful poem!!

    I remember when we were in the same club a long time ago before anything had happened to your dad, you always wrote about him and specially how he spoiled you (in a good way). Reading this piece brings tears to my eyes. It makes me hard to believe reality. But it also makes me happy to see that your dad is still with you even if it’s in memories. It also makes me appreciate even more my parents. Thank you for sharing.

    Death of a loved one is always difficult and loss of a parent or child always so much more. Sometimes imagining that they are still with us makes it more easy to live with. Warm hugs Milly x
