What's real is
Losing someone close to you
Not knowing what could happen next
What's the truth
In every way
I miss her everyday
What's honest is
I can't let this grieving go
Telling myself
It's been 4 years
Isn't it time to move on?
What's real is
Losing someone who is apart of you
Not seeing what is dieing next to me
What's fake is
Me not being honest to myself
Letting you disappear
And never saying goodbye to you
What's gone is
Memories I'll never get to have
Losing someone you never got to know
But for me
I will never get to see
What's the truth
And what's a lie
What's here
Is life still going
Wishing I had time to recollect
To my mind
That isn't here all the time
What's real
A daughters love
Learning to say I love you
Not to me
But to you
That's the best I can do
What's real
A heart that isn't never complete
No matter how many times I say it is
I know
That deep down
Maybe having someone else to say
I love you to
Wouldn't be so bad
What's real
A mind
Lost in time
Going back to that year
When I messed up everything
When everything felt so numb
Watching you die
All the time
What's real
My words
That should say enough
To tell you
That I can't help it
I will never get over it
Saying
I need to move on with this
But this heart
Will always remain broken
With each half still yours

This is sad. All I can say is sorry. And goodluck.

you've done a beautiful job with this. i'm so sorry for your loss; i can't even imagine how hard losing a family member would be to deal with, but i applaud you on being able to write about how you feel. this got me tearing up a bit. wow. wonderful way to speak the truth :] thank you very much for entering.

I completely empathise.I lost my dad this year and its the worst feeling I have ever known.I tried to put the feelings into words in my poem called My Dad and it helped a bit, so I hope writing this helped you a little.But I agree, the pain never leaves you it just becomes part of you.Best wishes.Montey

wow
the words just jumped out at me and became a part of what you were feeling. now thats a good poem the saying goes, time heals all wounds but sometimes you have to wonder. you seem to have an awesome heart, you have to find it in you some how to let go so you can move on, you deserve to be happy, youve known enough pain, but in order to know true happiness you also have to know great pain.

OMG you made me cry... for real this is very touching... I know you miss her and I am sorry, I can feel your pain. That must have been awful. I... I will read another one of your poems now.
