I miss you - A poem to my Grandmother

Everything starts to lose its place

When you lose someone you can’t replace

You feel sad, and everything’s blue,

Has it happened to you? It happened to me too.

It’s hard, writing this,

‘Cause I have someone I truly miss.

My grandmother, so kind, so selfless,

Always having my back, clearing all my mess.

Taught me a lot, she really did,

My favourite person as a kid.

She passed away due to cancer, it’s really sad.

Why? It makes me mad.

I hope she’s in a better place,

And she’s the one I couldn’t replace.

This poem, I know, doesn’t make you feel,

Whatever this is, it’s frigging real.

Questions in my head, it’s turned grey,

Granny, why couldn’t you just stay?

I should have spent more time,

I feel like I’ve committed a crime,

Should have made more memories with you,

Don’t you think so too?

Are you reading this? Are you still there?

I miss your love and care.

I miss your presence, scent, and so much more

You were one in a crore.

I’m sorry, I can’t help it,

Now I just have a photo of you to deal with.

Caught in a frame, a precious memory,

Do you feel how much you meant to me?

You left me, but I never stopped thinking about you,

Not even a day, not even two.

Your last words to me,

“Go study,”

I will, don’t you worry,

And that can wait, don’t you hurry,

Last question-

Do you remember me?
