At the Gravesites

I regret the person I was before my grandparents died

Your gravesites are beautiful

It represents who you were, and now, your souls

I cry, hoping you hear me

I want to talk to you, I can't let you be

I don't want to just see the gravesite

And see the Grounds Keeper in the sunlight

I don't want to just see you in the photos on the marker

I don't want to sit alone when it gets darker

I don't want to take pictures next to yours

Regret, not wanting to leave, wanting you, it just pours

I want to conversate with you two

Do my words and thoughts go to you?

I miss you two so much

I want to be able to feel your touch

I hold you close, and even closer at night

And hope when I look out the window, it's your Light

It's still feels like yesterday you died

It's so real, years have passed, and I've cried

I'm very sorry and full of sorrow

I've wasted all the tomorrows

At your gravesites, notes with tape aren't enough

I should've known what was...your love

I'm crying over the things I should've said and done

Even though, I feel you two heard my apologies, my tears still run

I relate to and love this piece dearly. This is such a strong show of emotions and with wonderful words and rhymes, so inspiring. I always have a hard time touching on grief in my poetry, even though it’s such a natural emotion. I loved the way you wrote it, it’s natural and free flowing with the weight of emotions and sadness you feel. I’m so sorry for your loss and I relate a lot to this piece, even the disliking parts of yourself. Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous piece.

This is a very strong piece Jenni. The emotion is really felt in each sentence written. It speaks to every heart that has ever lost someone who they may have not had closure with. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
