Nana Im Missing You

nanna you were here just the other day 
How could you just fade away 
As tears raced down my face
I tried to picture us in a peaceful place
As they told me you were gone
I couldn't hold in any tears for long
If you could of just stayed for one more week
I would of been ready for all the tears
it seems like just yesterday 
we were close together 
I never even got to say goodbye 
You were too far away 
A couple days later I didn't even want to see you laying there
so cold and lifeless you weren't there
As I stand by your coffin with you in there 
I'll stand here for hours with my family trying to be near me 
I can't help but push them away 
my heart and soul brakes when I'll see you fading in the ground later today 
you took them with you when you went up to heaven
right now its been some weeks at 7
As I stand by your grave
I think about all our memories I saved
your smile and laugh and the love that was for me
I was like your daughter your baby girl
you made me happy, lifted me up when I fell
Right now all I feel is pain, weak and helpless
I feel hated and depressed
I cry myself to sleep 
hoping I could be with you 
my eyes are bloodshot and red
I had a dream last night goodbye was all you said

I feel your pain and sorrow. The loneliness of Nana’s absense!
