about my grandfather

Post by call me andrew »

I left you
expecting you’d be there
on my return

A call. It broke
the silence of the night
what’s wrong?

Its your grandfather
all I can think of is
how much I’ll miss you

We connected together so well
you were like my best friend
memories bring tears to my eyes

So I closed them
when I do, I can dream
dream of the times we used to have

With my eyes shut,
my imagination paints a picture in my head
but inside I know you’re dead.
and now its international security. the call of the righteous men.

That was really good...
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

That's a really pretty poem! You should definately keep writing! :nod:
