Dear Loved Ones

A Poem Reflecting on My Feeling on the Loved Ones I Lost so Far

You were here one day and gone the next

I swear I cried when I seen the text

At the funeral there were no tears

Because that one text made me face my fears

I couldn't bring myself to look into your coffin

Although I seem to visit your grave very often

I guess I just couldn't face seeing you that way

That wasn't you because it was lifeless and you always had something to say

Seems like every night you are in my dream

Just seems like your always the main theme

I guess I miss you but haven't come to terms that you're now playing for Heaven's team

And without you, it seems like I'm always on a balance beam

Life has its curve balls and I'm just trying to keep my balance

So everyday I remind myself that you always tell me don't forget my talents

Because I still want to go and make you proud

Even though you're gone, I know you would cheer so loud

All you ever wanted was for me to make it

But the pain over the loss of you I cannot fake it

And everyday all I want is you back

The love I have for you still has no lack

So many years have gone by but there are still tears

I know it's time. But still can't face my fears

I am so sorry that I wasted time

But now I'm back and I'm in my prime

Soon I will do everything I set out to accomplish
