a grandchild's intuition

[thefalloutgirl]

during the milestones in my life, you were probably there, dressed in your best
i would be proud to have you at my side, if i could
though it's torture, people telling me you loved me this way
even more so when it's the world vs. me, it's even harder
and so my torture is associated every time i hear your name
in another element, i guess we're pretty unstoppable, being in the best of both worlds
but maybe daydreams are better than a reality that's all too realistic
because i have never put a cap on what we could do together
and how much my life would be better if you listened to me, to stay, thinking i'd maybe see you again
now, another milestone in my life, you are probably witnessing
the first time since medusa has turned me to stone, have i cried
because this topic is all too sensitive for saline eyes and plucked heartstrings, i'm starting to crumble
and so, pebbles now fall from this statue's eyes and this heart will play out of tune, if at all
it's weird, when we dream
i had a face clasped in my hand, of a man i never knew
i miss him, is all i know

this is really awesome. its a shame it had to come from loss of life. though, i find writing to help me to deal with things that bother me most, sharing something like this is not always easy. truely awesome writing though.

well, if you haven't guessed, it's about my grandfather. i never really knew him. he died when i was two. i have dreams about him sometimes. so, i kinda incorporated some of that into the poem.

This is the first poem I've read that has impressed me. You can tell this came from real emotions instead of meaningless imagery like burning and bleeding and all the other garbage in the other poems. That's all really, your poem is amazing.
