Grandma Brown

She lies still,
Mummified in her blankets,
With groans of utter pain,

My dad kneels next to her
Holding her hand tight
Watching her sleep,

Everything goes cloudy
I see only outlines
The tears run down my cheeks,

Each time I glance over at my dad,
He looks at her

I lose it

I cry harder each time

It made me think
Of all those times
I could have called her

To say I love you
To ask how’s it going
Or just to say hi

I didn’t

It’s too late.

My Grandma was very important to me. She resently passed away so I wrote a poem about it in my creative writing class.
