15

 Today,

you would have turned fifteen,

in front of us all,

would have smiled,

when we wished you off into another year,

I don't know which hurt more,

picking up the phone this morning,

dialing your number,

just to remember you weren't going to pick up,

or realizing you didn't make it here with me today,

so I guess I want you to know that I love you,

and the part of you I'll forever hold in my heart,

started it's fifteenth year today,

for it's not really growing older,

it is but simply falling deeper and deeper,

in love with you,

as time goes on,

even without you by my side,

I'll let go of balloons today,

tie little letters,

I've wrote to you,

to the strings,

and black eyeliner,

will make it's way down my fair skin,

meanwhile I watch everything I hold close,

float up to a girl I no longer see,

save when I close my eyes,

because she took herself,

from this decaying world,

to her permanent home in the sky,

and the only thing that gives me peace,

is knowing I'll hold her close again,

someday.

 

xoxo, I love you baby girl, Happy Birthday....

This is really emotional and sad :(
But very well written. Sometimes its difficult for a writer to portray feelings in his/her's work.

this was really emotional and frightened me at first because I just turned 15 in august. I loved the metaphor with the balloons. this poem just really spoke to me I think it's insanely powerful and very well written good job! :]
