Depressing poems

Dancing

i've come so far,
changed so much,
i feel like i've lost myself along the way.

would you recognize me now?
if we met out of the blue?
would i still be your granddaughter?
after everything i've done?
everything i've been through, without you?

would you still teach me to play?
still go camping?
spend late nights walking?
traveling the country side?
get caught laughing in that carefree way?

would you still bounce me on your knee?
like you did when i was three?

would we still go to the jamboree?
you playing that bass?
me dancing without grace?

i feel so lost,
without you here.
it seems like its been so long.

i just want to feel your arms around me again,
once more,
just to feel safe; secure,
even if just for a second.

but that isn't possible.
so ill shed my tears,
ill write; all, in their own way,
a tribute,
to you.
