On Days Like This

For my Grandpa

On days like this

I miss you the most.

On days like this

I miss your words.

When you would tell me how much you loved me too.

I miss the way you hugged me.

The way you used to smell.

The way I could be my self.

I still need you

But you're gone.

Never to return.

My heart breaks

My eyes burn

As tears fall down

And my lungs collapsed.

All I have is a memory

And

The past.

On days like this

I wish I could go back.

I'd rather be with you

In the back room

When I was 7

Sitting right beside you.

Listening to you sing to me.

I miss your voice.

You were my heaven.

My light went out

And the world grows dark.

As I search for a love

I forgot.

What do I do?

I can't reach you.

All I have is this broken heart.

I watched the years take you away.

Cancer ate my love.

I wish I believed in myself as much

As you believed I could.

On days like this, I would do anything

For one more hug.

Just to hear you say

One more time

I love you too Hun.
