This is a poem I wrote not long after my gradfather passed away on May 13, 2008. |
Why? Why would you leave Why do you make tears fall as you sit in a home far away Why do we have to suffer well you sit in a better life Why do I have to suffer for something I didn’t do Why do I suffer for all the things I’ve done wrong, to you Why do I have to cry every time I think of you too much Why am I not allowed to go on with my old life, while you were alive Why do I have to sit at home wishing you were still here Why do I have to be carful what I say so I don’t hurt someone else Why did you leave me alone in this cold world Why would you take yourself away from me Why were you the best thing in my life Why would you make May thirteen a terrible day for me, month after month Why would you take yourself away from your grandchildren Why would you save us, and then take all the love away from us Why would you leave nana so she has to move Why would you leave everyone you loved Why would you leave me, when I needed you most Why would you rip my heart in two, just so you could take a piece with you Why would you make everyone miss you, like we all do Why would you make yourself just a memory, in are lives Why would you walk away Why walk away from everyone and everything that you know Why did you say goodbye to everyone, without any notice Why would you leave Why? |
