My Great Grandfather recently passed away and I wrote this a couple days ago. I haven't showed it to anyone around because they grieve differently. Me and my grandpa were close. I hope it's not too poorly written.
It's been a week since you went away
They say that time will kill the pain
But I felt my world fade to gray
Just like your bright eyes
I know that people come and go
Still I wasn't ready though
To say goodbye to you that night
As I sat there and watched you fight
After all (our/the) time flew
And there were some struggles we pulled through
I never stopped to think what I'd do
When I couldn't see you.
So I'm left here with empty days
Remembering all the different ways
You made me laugh which tends to be hard to do
I sat there and I held your hand
And you walked into the promise land
now I wonder who you found
Were your brothers there waiting for you
was your little girl with them too.
These questions here are how I waste my day.
After all (our/the) time flew
And there were some struggles we pulled through
I never stopped to think what I'd do
When I couldn't see you.
I gave you a piece of my heart now I'm not sure how to fill it.
The empty void makes it hard to play my happy part
Walking through your room gets me everytime
I just can't seem to get it through my mind
After all (our/the) time flew
And there were some struggles we pulled through
I never stopped to think what I'd do
When I couldn't see you.
I know some day I'll see you again
But what am I supposed to do till then
I just wanna hold your hand
Like I always have
After all (our/the) time flew
And there were some struggles we pulled through
I never stopped to think what I'd do
When I couldn't see you.
