One Year Ago

One year ago
you where in pain.
I had prayed for it stop
but not like this.
One year ago
I wanted to see you.
I thought not now, later.
But it was to late.
One year ago
I felt so wrong.
My mother came to me
and I cryed.
One year ago
I looked at you.
I wanted to see you,
but you where not there.
One year ago
I layed in the tree,
the one we all love,
and let it hold me.
One year ago
I hoped you better.
You where there,
then you where not.

I love the "I layed in the tree, the one we all love, and let it hold me."

This is a very beautiful poem. I can sympathize, my Grandma (we call her Nana) is in the hospital right now.. I really hope she's okay. Its so hard to almost, or compleatly lose somebody. But they truly are never really gone. Writing poems like this awakens memories and keeps loved ones living on past their own lives.

This reminds me of when I went to see my nan in hospital with my brother but we decided to come back another time cuz there was talk off a illness going around on the ward and we didn't want it. Selfish really. That was the last chance we had to see her smiling and able to actually talk. The next time she was so out of it, we couldn't tell if she was awake or asleep, and that was the last time we saw her. I'll always regret that. Powerful poem.
