Holidays In The Past

My first post! I’ll start by stating this blog is a place to post my poetry; I am currently writing my second poetry book.

Holidays In The Past
*
It feels like you’re near to me,
It feels like you’re here with me,
But when I look around,
No one is there.
I’m alone, in a crowd of familiar faces.
*
When you went away,
The world turned into gray.
The summer didn’t seem as hot
And the holidays weren’t as bright.
*
When you went away,
The world went into gray.
Everything had changed
Yet everything stayed the same.
*
I didn’t realize how much you meant,
Until the day I didn’t have anymore time to spend with you.
It’s the littlest things I always miss
Like a smile, that now I’ll never see again
I should have said “I love you” more
That you were the best Grandma in the world.
Somehow, I never knew
All the things you used to do
Until you were no longer around to do them.
*
When you went away,
The world turned into gray.
The summer didn’t seem as hot
And the holidays weren’t as bright.
*
When you went away,
The world went into gray.
Everything had changed,
Yet the world stayed the same.
*
The earth kept turning,
The sun kept burning,
The stars still shined,
The moon still came out at night,
But nothing was the same,
After you went away.
