Sorry that this is so long... This is about my grandfather..
Stay Strong
So today I visited you,
In that room surrounded by the white walls.
You were laying on a white bed,
With my mother by your side.
Every beep I heard,
Was the pace of your weak heart.
Your breathing; so heavy.
Your face; so pale.
Your emotion; so blank.
You just laid there
I stayed strong.
My father walked up to the bed you lay on,
You take his hand, trying to remember his name.
You remember ever so faintly.
You remember how much he loves the wine you make.
You offer him some,
Not being aware of where you are.
Trapped within those white walls.
I tried hard to stay strong.
I was up next.
You took my hand,
Your grip; so gentle.
You tried hard to remember my name.
You held my hand for a long time,
Your arm got tired; you let go.
I have slipped away from your memory.
You do not remember me.
I feel my eyes getting warmer; wetter.
I blink.
A tear rolls down the side of my cheek.
I couldn't stay strong.
I ran out of the room bawling,
My father runs after me, trying to comfort me.
But no, I cried a river of endless tears.
I cried knowing that would be that last time I would see you.
My last memory of you,
Laying on that bed; suffering; breathing heavily; not knowing who I am.
I wish you had remembered,
But I will never forget you.
I can't be strong.
I wish I had more memories with you.
You're such an amazing person,
So sweet, caring, loving.
I HATE what the cancer is doing.
I HATE what the cancer did.
Why couldn't we catch it earlier?
You don't deserve this,
You do NOT deserve this slow killer.
You deserve to live on.
I am not strong.
My eyes blur as I type this.
I love you so much,
You will always be in my heart.
I don't know how much longer you have left,
But I do know it's not a lot of time.
But please, grandpa.
Do what I couldn't,
And stay strong...
