Gone

My grandpa died recently and it's starting to hit that I'll never see him again..

Gone

 

You left me so early in life,

when I wasn't nearly ready to let you go.

Now it's up to me to bear the endless sorrow and strife,

And my lungs seem to be bursting; wanting, needing to scream NO.

 

I feel so small and helpless, like there was nothing I could do,

and I don't understand why God had to take you.

 

I'm sorry for your loss, they all say, but they don't get it,

because now the fire in my soul doesn't seem to be lit.

 

I can't seem to forget how you looked, when we said good-bye,

you looked so vulnerable and weak, it tore my heart in half.

I couldn't seem to comprehend, He had taken you, made you die,

but now I seem to always cry, no longer shall I laugh.

 

Words seem to escape me, because the emotions flow to deep,

but there is one promise I know I'll always keep.

 

In this big old scary world, forgotten you'll never be,

because all you taught during your time here, is now a part of me.

 

 

 

Dedicated to my grandpa, William Kelly Sackett (aka Crabby Bill :] )

So sad...but very, very nice. It's so difficult when someone close to you passes, and you captured those feelings perfectly.

I didnt notice any bad grammar hannah, but there's nothing at all wrong with this, its your emotions carrying you and its very well done. I'd also like to offer my sincerst deepest condolonces even though they are of no help. God bless.
