Her Last Days

When I went to the hospital,
To be by your side,
Your eyes sent a message,
Of the pain you couldn't hide.



I held your hand,
With a glimpse of hope,
That maybe one day,
You'll soon be home.

I mostly miss your voice,
And your presence in the room.
My tears turn into droplets,
Every time I think of you.


Your image stays with me,
With the little things I do.
I miss you so much,
But there's nothing I can do.

The last days of your life,
Was mostly filled with pain.
Your body was suffering,
But now your soul can sing.

This poem is dedicated to my grandmother who passed away about a year ago. Oddly enough i wrote this poem the night before she died.
