just can't be

i wrote this 2 days after i found out that my aunt passed away. she was more of a mother to me than my own mother. wrote 12-23-06

All of this isn't true to me.

I just can't make myself believe.

 

I talked to you just the other day.

So I don't want to believe what they have to say.

 

I don't want to come to terms with this all.

The day i do,to my knees I will fall.

 

You loved me like I was your own,not just your niece.

When mom wasn't around and dad was all covered in grease.

 

With a heart of complete gold.

I've learned now that you will never grow old.

 

He took your life which I don't understand.

On this paper my tears shall land.

 

Just two more days 'til i face reality.

I still pray somehow that it just can't be.

 

Someday I will see your smilin face again.

I will look back on all of our memories until then.

 

We will laugh,cry and be angry too!

Wondering why he chose to take you.

 

I know we shouldn't question the man above.

Does he know that he took a woman that we couldn't help but love.

 

No longer will your life grow harder.

Why couldn't you have stayed  just a little bit longer.

 

Now that your looking down from above.

Send us something showing your love.

Those good people that can't be replaced leave us sad and lonely. Their memories are the base for us to follow. I had a Grandfather who home had a open door for me and I do the same for my family and friends. I'm sorry for your lost. A very good poem remembering a kind woman.

I have felt this same way after my brother passed away and still, to this day, I still feel the same feelings. I don't understand what it is like to lose an aunt so I'm not going to pretend like I do, but I do understand your hurt and pain over losing someone you are close to. This poem is amazing! I love your emotion in it! I wish you the best! Take care and great poem! :)
