Wake Up Tomorrow

To Granddad. To Grandma.

I wish I'd wake up tomorrow

And everything would be alright

Oh, I wish I'd wake up tomorrow

And you'd be by my side

 

Then these past few weeks of missing you

Would be nothing but a bad memory

Oh, then these past few weeks of missing you

Wouldn't matter anymore

 

I know you're still out there

Watching over me like an angel

Oh, I know you're still out there

But without you it's lonely here

 

I can feel the hollowness of your absence

With every one of my heart beats

Oh, I can feel the hollowness of your absence

With every breath I take

 

It's only been a month since you left

But it feels like an eternity

Oh, it's only been two months since you left

But I'm already forgetting the sound of your voice

 

I wish I'd wake up tomorrow

And that I could have you both back

Oh, but when I wake up tomorrow

You'll both still be gone away

Awww this is so sad and deep. I love the last stanza though. You absolutely did magnificent!! Nice poem! Keep up the beautifully written work.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I lost my granddad (father's father), and grandma (mother's mother, with whom I was very close) within the span of a month, and it's been difficult. I've been healing through writing. When I read your comment I smiled. It really made my day!

Awe it's no problem. I'm glad I made your day! 😊
