In Memory

    • 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.
