I'm posting this here because it has the most readers and I need as much help as I can get. I only know how to cope one way and that's with writing. So of course, I wrote a poem to be read at my grandmother's funeral even though she's still alive for now 🙄
You'd think I'd at least write something happy about her still being here but my brain is apparently feeling melodramatic. Either way I need your honest help guys.
I've already decided I wanted to write something for her service whenever that is and this kinda fell from my pen tonight.
Can We Pretend?
I awoke this morning to the rising sun,
To the scent of dew,
Amidst birdsong.
Then a thought fluttered by,
A feeling that something was wrong.
I looked beside me,
And remembered you were gone.
Even though you've disappeared,
Still I feel you lingering near.
Though I can't see you,
I feel you here.
And then somehow I hear you,
And that brings the tears.
So much reminds me of days that can no longer be.
So many memories,
Where once there was you with me.
There were things I should've cherished,
There were things left unsaid,
Things unspoken,
Things locked in my head.
But my tongue was frozen,
like the winter that came when you were gone,
Words escaped me,
Like a bird without a song.
There were times I felt abandoned,
Times I felt askew.
If only I'd looked behind me,
I now know I would've seen you.
Like a shadow on a moonless night,
Unseen but there,
You were always beside me,
You always cared.
Things were said that were not meant.
Time was often not well spent.
There,
together.
Here, Apart.
Can't we go back?
Can't we restart?
Is there a place where we can be again?
If not, can we just pretend?
Can we pretend the sun never sets?
Can we pretend to waltz with silhouettes?
Can we have tea for two,
With talking cats and macaroons?
Can we fly above the clouds,
Where a choir sings aloud?
Can we pretend we'll always be?
Can we pretend,
There's still a 'You' and a 'Me'?
Can we pretend,
You're simply hiding in the mist?
For I can't bear to live in a world where you no longer exist.
