*Note: This poem is about my grandfather who raised me and was more like my dad and my only father figure. He passed away a few years back because of cancer and not a day goes by without missing him. Sometimes I feel sad because he's gone, happy because he's at peace, and angry because he left just like that and how life can still be beautiful while someone I loved so dearly passed away, I found it cruel.*
I learned what it means to live
How small moments
Can make big memories
That I started cherishing
What I didn't know
Was how hard the glass would be
To break through
Do you know
How badly I'm missing you?
I've never felt that way
When you lost that fight
And as I carry on
With a heavy heart
For a new beginning
I still feel something missing
I can't enjoy the stars
While you are so far
The sky is beautiful tonight
I hate the way everything is light
The sun has never shined more bright
It's not wonderful
If you're not by my side
Sunsets burst in every color
But why should it bother?
It's not complete
When you're not with me
I cannot miss you anymore
I'm broken to the core
This isn't fair
The pain will always be there
And the fear stays scared
You understand
How much I wanted you to win
I understand
How cruel life has been
