Just Like Him
- Published: July 2009
in Grandfather Poems

He taught me how to build a fire;
he gave me hope and desire.

He taught me how to build a chair;

He taught me how to build a fire;
he gave me hope and desire.

He taught me how to build a chair;
he told me that life wasn't fair.

He watched every basketball game
and treated me like fame.

He bought me ice cream
and listened to my every dream.

I talked to him every day,
we never ran out of things to say.

Without him I don't know who I'd be,
but one thing's for certain, I wouldn't be me.

He taught me how to be just like him,
and I already am within.

If Only You Knew
- Published: July 2009
in STOP Suicide Poems

I never told you because I thought you knew,
but I am not sure that would change what you planned so long to do.

I had a funny feeling something was wrong,

I never told you because I thought you knew,
but I am not sure that would change what you planned so long to do.

I had a funny feeling something was wrong,
when my cell phone went off at two in the morning - playing our song.

And then I woke to find that you had died,
but I couldn't find the tears or I would've cried.

Your parents loved you and they told you,
but that didn't stop what you planned so long to do.

You were a terrific person, a tough and determined guy.
I never saw you worry and I never saw you cry.

I have wasted many tears on you,
I have prayed for you too.

But every day I wonder if you'd still be here if you knew.
If only you listened, you would have known I loved you too.

This is so sad. I can relate my uncle took his life. I had a feeling something was not right why I did not go and check on you God only knows. By the time I would arrive it would be done. To...

Just One More Yesterday
- Published: April 2009
in Grandmother Death Poems

I would trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday,
I'd plan out everything I'd do and know just what to say.

If I could take back time and pause yesterday

I would trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday,
I'd plan out everything I'd do and know just what to say.

If I could take back time and pause yesterday
I wouldn't have let it end that way

I prayed and cried for you to live,
but now I'm in front of the casket with a speech to give.

You deserve a better funeral but this is all we could afford,
but money doesn't matter when you're in Heaven with our great Lord.

Please take a while from your busy day,
and listen closely to hear what I say.

You were a good grandma, you were always there for me,
now your watching over me, and I promise you will like what you see.

Even when I close this speech,
you will never be out of reach.

Your smiling in my heart,
we will never be apart.

When they lift your casket in the grave,
I am going to hold back my tears and try to be brave.

If I could take back time and pause yesterday
I wouldn't have let it end that way.

I would trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday,
I'd plan out everything I'd do and know just what to say.

Poem On Lost Friendship

in Heartbreak Poems by Teens

He talks about her like I'm not there,
he just doesn't care.

He holds her hand like he used to hold mine,

He talks about her like I'm not there,
he just doesn't care.

He holds her hand like he used to hold mine,
yet he goes through life thinking everything's fine.

We were great friends from the start,
but now he's accidentally shattered my heart.

He's out with her having so much fun,
how can he not realize what he's done?

She doesn't know she's so lucky,
but she is supposed to be me.

After all the things we've been through,
after all the things we used to do.

He is supposed to be my best friend,
but these days it seems like he's on lend.

After all we used to be,
he has accidentally replaced me.

He's not acting like a best friend,
he's just hers now, he's not on lend.
