Gone

The phone rang.
He sound of her voice made my heart sink to my feet.
I couldn't swallow, I couldn't speak.

The tears trickled down my cheek,
For the first time in years,
My stomach turned
As I fell to the ground.

It was unexpected.

I felt useless
I will miss you Nan.
I will think of you everyday as long as I live.
You will remind me of the great times we had.
You are a legend which will never be forgotten.

You will be written in my song,
A song of pride and love
At the pearly gates
Is where I will see you again.

As the clock ticks,
My cheeks flush with sadness.
I now know time is precious.
I will never tale it for granted again.

I with I was there to be with you,
To sit with you.
Knowing that your grandson is not there
Stabs me from the inside.

Family will always stay families.
Even if you are gone, you will always stay in my heart.
Your emotions grew into mine, and I have matured.
The feeling is indescribable.

You have watched me turn into a man
I hope I made you proud
Even though it is only the day after
The hours seem to represent eternity.

My thoughts pump and overfill my head.
When I smile, I smile for you
When I laugh, I laugh for you.
But when I cry, I cry because you are not here.

I don't show my feelings to the outsiders,
Yet inside I am melting with pain.
Morphine feels like the only way out,
But in reality the only way out is living.
