The Words of Mourning

How many times do I have to say goodbye, in order for it to stop hurting?
How many times do I have to look at the same picture, in order for it to sink in?
You are gone.
You left me how you left my family.
Broken.
You held me when I cried, now I am alone.
Forgotten.
It starts to sink in, but I wished it wasn’t true.
You are never coming back.

I'm very sorry for your loss. This poem was incredibly raw and heartfelt.

This poem is so true on so many levels in so many scenerios. I love how you wrote it, too. It's not often that I find somebody that writes with this kind of voice, and I wish when I did find one it'd be more often. Great job, and KEEP WRITING.

And I feel you on that, man. My grandpa is pretty much my father. I haven't lost him yet, but he's in his 70's and after he retires in a month he'll be writing his will. i guess it's the circle of life.

Yeah, I never had a Dad. My father skipped out. My grandpa pretty much raised me.

This is beautiful, though I wish you had made it a bit longer and detailed. Some would say that your lines are too long, I don't believe in such a thing.

Wow, this is really deep and I can tell you're very hurt by this, understandably so. I love how you started with two questions, that was a very effective technique and it catches your attention. Great job!
