Four Month Mark

by Gem   May 21, 2007


We're nearing the four month mark now
But things aren't getting any better
There's still a sense of a huge great loss
So I'm writing this tear-filled letter

There'll be some times when I forget
And I pick up the phone to call
But then sick realisation hits
As my heart takes another fall

I'm missing all the shopping trips
The car boot sales you dragged me too
I'd willingly be towed to them now
For a chance to spend time with you

My days feel so empty without you here
But I still talk to you all the time
I hold pillows and talk tears to you
You're never far from my mind

The wedding day is creeping up
Only two short years left to go
I wish you were here to plan and help
But wishing's not what you want, I know

Nanna, the pain of losing you
Is still raw and hurts to touch
The last three months have gone so slow
And I miss you so very much...

    Awehh..so sorry about your loss Dear, I hope it gets better for you. An excellent poem in her memory, it`s filled with emotion and pain that the reader can feel it just by the way you portrayed it. Great job.

    "There's still a sense of a huge great loss"

    ^^ I felt like you could have used just one or the other of 'huge' and 'great' it would flow a lot better that way.

    "So I'm writing this tear-filled letter"

    ^^ LOVED that line !
