Where Were You? [2-21-2009]

I wrote this about 2 months after my grandmother's death from a massive stroke. her death took a toll on my life and this poem shows my anger at God for taking her away...

I keep hiding 

My true emotions,

Blocking out

The world.

I'm afraid to

Tell them what

I'm going through,

To get close.

I always get

Close to a 

Person and

They become

Not trustworthy.

How do I know

For sure that YOU

Will give me

Unconditional

Love?

How do I know

That you will

Be there when

I need you

Most?

Where were you?

When she was

On her deathbed

And I needed

Your guidance?

Where were you

When I asked

You to save

Me?

I am terribly sorry for your loss.
I like this poem because it's real and I can feel your emotions through the words which makes it far more beautiful...yet it's very sad and painful to think about.
Thank you for sharing.

this is a natural fear - when the heart seeks out love and the mind controls the time -- we have to deciede if the heart or the mind is right
