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?
