...

I wish I wish with all my heart
just to see you once again
I miss you very much
it's just not the same with you gone

there's a hole in our heart
and silence in the air
to leave so sudden
hurt so bad

you were my aunty
and I will never forget
the fun we had and times we shared
for all these memories will be treasured
I love you so much
and know your okay, never in pain
and I will try to stay sane
but I still feel empty inside
without you here by my side

I look around and see you everywhere
everything makes me think of you
I look through old photographs
and see you there by my side, holding my hand
and I start to cry
the pain returns, and I wanna die
I know your with me
as I get stronger everyday

uncle misses you like crazy
and cries everyday
for he can't wait to see you again

you were his first and only love
your parents thought your love was rash
you vow your vows and said "I do"
and together till the end was held forever true


We love Aunty Tammy always and forever may you rest in peace, to never be forgotten

I lost people who aren't close to me like my cousin but I know how hard it is to lose someone especially when they meant a lot to you... if I can go back in time I wish I will be able to spend time with my cousin so her death would really be a loss and not just something that happened one day.

i know what you mean :(

The beginning reminds me of the little poem they say in Dragon Tales, anyway still a great write.

I really liked it, and appreciated the emotion set into it. For me it would elevate from a good poem to a great one if it weren't about someone... it would allow me as the reader to use it as a vessel for a loss of my own. I was going along a path of a loss and then you said it was your Aunty, and then the poem shifted from an emotional journey to reading your story. And reading your story is fine, but if you're asking my opinion I'd love it more generic so that I as the reader can take it wherever I want it to go. That said I loved the emotion and language.

This is an amazing poem.

It's a great poem.

This is a precious poem. I like the way you chose your words and the feelings you send out through your loss. Still, something could always come after it. Something amazing or just...something. Anyways, great poem and hope you keep writing. :)

I like it. It is not a fail. Especially one written during those hours when you cannot go to sleep. I have had many nights where I am half asleep and still writing and I come up with some of my best work. Keep it up.

That's so sad. Sorry for your loss.
This was a really good poem, and I think you did beautifully with it.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I liked it, but when it comes to poems about pain or anything personal, I like to go for something more abstract and vague. That way everyone can relate =)
