I Miss You Poem by La'neka Kelly

When you first left i cried everyday
I became antisocial i never looked up when people came my way.
I hated the world and i started drowning in my tears,
Afraid to go to sleep, then i started running from my fears.
Couldn't go to sleep because of the terror of dying too,
I just wasn't the same anymore i didn't know what to do.
My mamma told me you were gone to be with God, and i had to let you go,
But you were only granny i ever had, & letting go, i don't think so.
To me you were my best friend whom i always fought with,
Never though of you not being here, with me that didn't sit.
But granny you managed to stay with me up until the 7th grade,
Your the one that put it in my head that i would have it made in the shade.
Now look where i am, a senior in high school i would love to see you now,
I got a strong feeling you'd brag to the world about your youngest grandchild.
You would be the one to make my prom dress and kiss me before i went to sleep,
You would be the one to keep all of us out of the streets.
Granny you were amazing, loving, and kind,
I just can't believe when you were here you were all mine.
When you were laying in the bed no longer breathing i kissed you,
Still crying inside and out, oh Granny how I Miss You!
