Somewhere Only We Know (contest)

by Choose xX Alex Xx Life   Oct 21, 2007


'6:10', The exact time it happened
As you wept on your knees by her bed.
Room fell silent as the monitor stopped
Doctor announced her death.

Your grandmother, your world,
The one who you loved the most.
Was there whenever you needed a smile,
Now the one you have lost.

You begged them to save her 'PLEASE'
Couldn't bare to be alone,
Swung your arm around me, 'Shh, babe close your eyes,
And find somewhere only we know.

Our world. A lifeline which blocks out pain.
Tears made me soaking wet,
Swallowing your sadness in love and care
For I am all you have left.

But whatever you do don't smother me,
For fate is inevitable for life
'To die you first have to live my love' I spoke,
'Still a lot has happened tonight'.

At home you sob yourself to sleep,
Whispering ' I love you ' as you go,
Laying down next to you entering the world
Of somewhere only we know.

My boyfriend lost his grandmother this morning and is truly devastated, I feel so helpless it's crazy :(

    Becuase of the reason behind the poem, I'm going to save the poetic suggestions to myself.

    I am sorry for your families loss, I too have lost a grandparent so I understand the feeling you conveyed in the message to us.

    The poem was beautiful and it struck a chord within my own heart.
    If I let myself go I might even be crying.
