I Want To Say "Hello" Again, "How Are You?" (Dodoitsu)
Folder:
Loss / Mourning You come intermittently
Adorned with bittersweet smiles
You left me flowers again
Right before you left
this is sweet and sad it reminds me of somebody having memories that they wish they go back and live over again
I really like this poem that you wrote, and it's really beautiful, and yet, sad at the same time. My grandfather passed away when I was only 12 years old, and he never got the chance to see me turn 13 on my 13th birthday, but I know that he's looking down on me to make sure that I'm ok. This is a really good piece, and keep on writing!! =)
I think this is very touching..
Sweet, loving, sad poem. I felt rather stupid reading this poem. I thought this poem was written about how you left for the hospital and missed us, your friends and readers. It made me very confused when I read the last line. Things fell into place when I read your comment though. I'm sorry to hear of your loss and I'd make you feel better if I could, but there's really nothing I can do or say to take away your pain. I know some people like to try to tell you that time eases pain, but my cousin died in 1998 and I don't know that time really heals pain, but intensifies it. I don't think you ever really forget about those who die either. I still think of my cousin often and dream about him. I don't go to his grave because it's still too painful for me. I commend you for going to your grandfather's grave and writing about him. I know that writing about my cousin has helped and hurt me. It's also hurt people that have read what I've written. It brought tears to their eyes. They don't want me to feel bad for making them cry, but I do. Sorry about this comment being so long. I'll shut up now and give you a hug. Hugs.
