I didnt even get to say goodbye

by ♥ briTiany ♥   Jul 29, 2005


It was a beautiful day
I was feeling great in every way
Was going to go out with a friend
And make some memories I'd keep till the end
But then I got an unexpected phone call
And nothing else mattered at all
"Why Lord oh why?
I didn't even get to say goodbye
He was my grandpa and I loved him so much
But now theres only memories time can not touch
I lay ed crying for hours and hours
and trying to order him the prettiest flowers
Seeing him lay there was going to make me choke
And just like I thought, when I seen him my heart just broke
He was so great and not even very old
I couldn't bare seeing him laying there not breathing and being so cold
Memories flashed in my head
And I started remembering loving things he'd always said
I leaned down and kissed him goodbye
Told him I'd see him on the one day on the other side
I told him not to question that Yes I loved him so
Even if he couldn't hear me though
With one last glance I looked back and said
Your not here physically but your always in my head
To this day I keep his pictures up everywhere
and I know even though I cant see him he is there
~I~Love~You~Grandpa~

    Awwww i am really sorry about that! This poem is really good tho and I like the way it is written! It is bittersweet and that combination can always be very touching! Keep up the great work and thanks for commenting on my poem! To answer your question about my poem: I went through something a little bit similar a while ago, and now I'm in an awesome situation so I just decided to combine these ideas. I was really experimenting first and didn't think it would turn out great, but it turned out pretty good, so yes and no. I didn't directly experience that tho.
