Loss

　

 

　

Ive been slipping in and out

of false redemption's
ever since

That first phone call

and now
every time

the phone rings

I hope a little harder

reality
isn't what it seems

And yesterday

just doesn't feel the same

without you here

without that ancient presence

somewhere out there

But who can turn back time and change
the past

Say the things you always meant to say

but
never had

Yes, i know...

I can never bring you back

But you haunt my dreams..

every breath I take

Has that one last little mistake

on the tip of my tongue

I can't pick up the phone
hear that dial tone
and make that one last call

because

You're not there

to pick up

the other end of the line..

Even though I'm still here

listening to the
ring

trying so hard to say

"good bye."

The phrases you use are so good. I don't now how you come up with this stuff. Great job.

Sad poem, I hope everything will be allright later or sooner! I especially love these lines:

every breath i take
has that one last little mistake
on the tip of my tongue

They are so deep and beautiful.

I like reading your work, I think you're talented.

Awww Everyone is scared to get that one phone call. Even though you might not think about it. It's somewhere deep in the back of your mind. Nice job sorry to hear about your grandma.

Very beautiful, and very sad. I know how you feel. Waiting for your grandmother to call, and then nothing. It's a very emotional feeling. Not just of sadness, I know. Great write, I expect nothing lower from you.
