Abuelo Poem by Nicole Guess

Who said you got to choose?
Who told you to leave?
Who gave you the decision to walk out of my life forever?

Whoever let you decide my future should of asked me
What if I want to choose
What if I didn’t want you to leave
What if I needed you

Just because she told you, she didn’t needed you.
Doesn’t mean I didn’t.
You leaving gave my father the choice to leave.
You leaving gave everyman in my life the choice to leave.
Do you realize that?
Did you really think you could forget your family before,
Before El Salvador?

Maybe I needed you abuelo...
