Hurt Poem by Averie Schneider

I was deeply hurt when I heard that you were gone
But it happened all of a sudden I didn't know how to react
At first I was hurt that you never said goodbye
Then I heard the whole story and my hurt had turned into anger
I thought bad and mean things about you
But now I regret saying them
When we first met I liked you but only as a friend not a family member
Then you turned into my cousin and not my friend
But months passed by and my likeness for you as a family member turned into jealousy
I thought that when you came you took my favorite Aunt away from me
No doubt I still loved you but there was always a hint of jealousy
Then when I knew you were gone I was scared I would never see you again
That question is still making me ponder now
But I know we will see each other again
And if my cousin would ever read this I wanted to let you know that I love you
And miss you
I was and still am hurt knowing that your gone
