I feel like I can't breathe
I'm stressed to the max
I wish I knew the difference
Between the lies and the facts.
I haven't slept in days
Time seems to inch by
I wish I knew what was going on
I feel like I'm going to cry.
People are all around me
Yet I feel all alone
I wish I could just get away
And never return home.
My mind is in a blender
I cannot concentrate
I'm scared and confused
I feel I can't relate.
I can't do my homework
Can't study for my test
If I can't tell you what day it is
How am I to know the rest?
You don't know what it's like
To walk in on the dead
To see someone you love
Lying lifeless on their bed.
To search for their pulse
Through their cold clammy skin
Never being able to find one
My head began to spin.
I ran out of his room
In search of my phone
I'm lost in my own house
Completely all alone.
I wasn't ready for him to leave
I didn't get to say goodbye
When the police and corner came
I couldn't help but cry.
I found my grandpa John
Dead Thursday afternoon
October 14th 2004
He left us all too soon.
I know in death there is life
And when in mourning there are tears you cry
But when you loose someone you love
You're not meant to say goodbye.

Really, really good poem!
Hey Leah06! I'm sorry about your grandpa, and the fact that it was before Thanksgiving too. I never knew my grandfather, it's good to know that you knew yours Leah. I think I should end this comment, before I join you in tears.

Take care, and stay strong Leah06 like you've always been, because truly, you inspire many! Not just up here, but on the forum! You really have a good heart.

Well, take care!
Smiley face Leah,
Meri
