we never stop remembering
stephanie ann braden 1992 (san bernardino)
I hear the wane of sound
as i sadly look down
life seems hopeless
all i can do is cry
i beg and plea for help
but they cant come soon enough
tears well up in my eyes
and i listen to you take
the last breath
i plea for you to come back to me
this can all be just a bad dream
but my plea was met with silence
why?
my heart hurts
ive sobbed so hard my tears are dry
i feel empty as though nothing is left
i remain an empty shell
crushed under pain and sorrow
my bones feel like they will break
i have no strength left to keep going
why?
still no answers have come my way
but i pull deep within myself
remembering the best i had in life
with you
and it carries me on
it brings me to get out of bed when im tired
it brings me to shower when i havent the strenght
it brings me to eat when i havent hungered in months
it brings me to work when i cant face the people
you may be gone but your memory is all i have
and everyday when i remember you
it is what keeps me going
the idea of what you would havent wanted for me
the idea that someday we will meet again
i wont forget you
so please
when i come home
remember me
About this poem
loss of a loved one can feel like the end of your own life. you should remember the good times and that your never alone with your grief! you will go home to them one day but until then keep fighting because they would want you to.
