In Memorium

I'm getting so caught up in the drama here, that I barely ever find time to write. Every little thing these days has been stressing me out. For example, this Thursday is the day my Oma passed away a year ago. And trust me, time doesn't always make things easier, if anything it seems to make them more difficult. Sure you can hide the fact that it hurts you, but it gets harder every year. At least for me it does. I find that with each passing day I wish that she could come back all the more. I miss her greatly. This is in memory of her;

Memories lie scattered,

As broken hearts refuse to heal.

Tears fall unguarded,

As glistening eyes begin to reveal.

Whispers go unheard,

As we search but never find.

Hope goes freely,

As the walls we build, unbind.

And I am here to say,

That your memory remains.

And though these tears have fallen,

They will never leave a stain.

And even when we’re silent,

We hope you hear our voice.

And though we are sad and lonely,

We know you would have stayed, given the choice.

And I am here to say,

That our love for you will never fade away.
