The Taunting Word...

I run to her with a smile.
But as I keep running it seems like she gets farther away by miles.
I look at her my eyes a glaze.
Then she is gone as if i were seeing things in a daze.
So i fall to the floor and collapse in sobs.
It seems as if my heart has been robbed.
My mind is coated with a heavy fog.
The pain has numbed me and hollowed me out like a log.
Then it hits me she is gone.
This isn't a joke or a con.
She is in heaven.
I feel so dead inside as i write with this pen.
"Cancer" the word is a taunt.
She is never coming back it says ever so blunt.
You didn't even get to say goodbye, it giggles.
My mind goes crazy as I start to scribble.
I took her from you it laughs in my face.
I told you she would never win this race.
She is in a better place.
No one will ever fill her space.
I cry and lay on the couch all alone.
My sobs get louder but I try to control my tone.
I won; it cries.
I lay down and just want to die.
You won the battle I say, but I will win the war.

Because one day I'll go to heaven and see her; I'll settle the score.

It taunts me and laughs as I lay there and cry.

And all I keep saying to myself is why?

Why did he have to take her?

What did I do to deserve this pain, please tell me sir.

I love her so much.

But now she is gone and I miss her comforting touch.

The way he laughed when I did something dumb.

Now I feel no happiness, I only feel numb.

Stop taunting me I scream.

Please make this all be a dream.

I lay down and go to sleep.

And memories of you start to creep.

Memories of past birthdays and hugs.

The memories that I hold dear and keep hidden under my rug,

The rug in which I hide my tears.

So no one can see my fears.

And no one will see my tears.

Grandma I love you and I know.

You made me strong, you made me grow.

And your love will always surround me in a glow.

I will see you soon this I now know.

Because you're heaven but I still miss you so.

I'll see you soon.

And sometimes I think you hung the moon....

    I am so sorry about your gradma, but like you said she is in a better place and she doesn't have to feel any pain. I loved the poem it really touched me... You did a great job!

    I know the pain you describe so well, I knew 3 sets of grandparents and a great grandmother. I loved them all very much and to lose them all one at a time was hard, very hard. But you know what? I know where they are!! And I will go to be with them again when my job here is done, it's just a matter of time, and I won't rush it. Well written hon...Grampa Griz.
