With Love

To my dear mother:

I guess I never really said thank you for everything you’ve done.

Bending over fuckways to try and help me.

As the silent snowflakes falls from the heavens

I keep praying that you’ll live a great many years to come.

And everything you’ve earned the last couple of years

Hasn’t exactly been easy for you to get…

Especially not with a teenager like me..

And I am truly sorry…

And I guess I don’t say this enough…

Well..

I never really say it.

But I love you mother.

Always will.

 

 

Grandmother:

I never thanked either you or grandfather for the damn hospitality..

And yeah I know I get up to trouble..

I lie, cheat and steal from you..

Yet you never seem to hold a grudge.

I can’t remember how many nights I’ve kept you awake just to hold me and tell me that all is going to be okay..

And I really love you for that.

 

Grandfather:

Hell..

I don’t know how to tell you this..

But I really do love you..

Even when you’re trying to be funny but end up annoying the living f**k out of me..

Yet I wouldn’t trade you for anything.

And I still remember that morning.

October 26^th 2007.

I get woken up by mom.

And suddenly we’re at the hospital.

I was in chock…

You mean to much to me to just do s**t like that..

Don’t ever do that again…

 

Aunt Karina:

You mean the world to me.

Yet we’ve become so damn distant since Thomas came into the picture..

He’s a great guy no doubt.

Yet I’m just so damn depressed about us.

Yet you’re always there when the time seems to be at the bleakest…

 

Aunt Ellen:

I love you.

We seem to share this special bond.

Like I could tell you anything..

And no matter how bad it is..

You’ll still be there..

I remember so many things about the two of us.

You’ve always been there.

Just as I always know you’ll be there for me.

And I really wish that nothing will ever come between us!

Remember that time when we had to get grandfathers stuff to intensive care?

I still cry about that…

And I guess I always will..

 

Uncle Thomas:

I can’t say I know you enormously well.

But ever since you came into the family..

It’s been like having someone who’d always protect me.

And I thank you deeply for that.

 

To the love of my life:

I don’t know if I’ve found you yet.

But I really hope that it’s you now.

Knocking on the door of my heart..

Kissing me gently even though we both know it’s wrong.

Accepting me for the one I really am…

And every time we’re apart I really miss you.

And I simply can’t wait till the next time I get to kiss your beautiful lips.

A taste of you invokes my powers of restraint…

But hopefully someday..

I’ll meet you..

And we can finally be united…

 

To me:

Such a sweet young talent..

I just have a habit of spending it at the wrong places.

But one day..

I woke up and thought..

Today it changes.

I’m still depressed.

I’ve just learned not to show it.

And that’s what was all about I guess.

 

And to all of you mentioned before..

I really do love you.

The poem is powerful and beautiful. I understand the poem. I have lost many in my lifetime. I remember their words and I have photos of my elders to keep them alive in my mind and heart. I like the description of good people in your life. A wise person appreciate the kind people in their life. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Wow, it takes a real person to thank every person that means something to them. I bet if they read this, it would bring a smile to their face and maybe even tears. I need to do the same, I don't tell my family that I love and appreciate them enough. That's soon to change. I can definitely tell that this is from your heart and you expressed your feelings quite well. Keep posting writings that's as heartfelt like this one:D
Amazing!
