I lost my grandmother on August 9th, 2021. I was close to her, and still feel the weight of grief over her. I am getting there, but I made some poems for how I felt, from when she passed away, to today. So here's two. For Veraletchimi Shori. The Best Grandmother one can ask for. 1934-2021
Standing In the Dark
Standing in the dark.
Wondering where I will go from here.
Since you have been gone.
My world seems just a bit less brighter.
Candles quiver into embers without you.
The clouds darken.
And I need you more then ever.
I want you to return to me.
Grief has taken over my heart and soul.
I can't imagine life without you.
I need you to return.
Why can't you stay just a little while longer.
Oh, can't you hear the pain in my heart.
My soul is a little more shattered.
Like shards of broken glass.
I need you right now.
I don't want you to be gone.
I can't believe you aren't here

Hold Your Hand
I just want to hold your hand.
One Last time.
I just want to hold your hand, knowing it will be the last time.
I don't want to let you go.
To keep you here forever.
I want to hold your hand. One Last Time.
Just give me one more day with you.
To know it will be the last.
I just want to hold your hand again, one last time.
Give me more memories of you.
Before you are gone.
To walk down to the park again. To help you over small hills,
And take you by the hand again.
I know I must let go.
But my heart does not want to let you go.
Perhaps, we will meet again in the afterlife.
Or in a different life of rebirth.
But until then, I just want to hold your hand.
One Last Time.
