Somebody Wake Me Up Poem by Joanne Kearsey

Have I taken my keys with me?
Did I take my medication?
I can't remember from one moment to the next,
But in losing you there is no comparison.

I never needed to hear you drown,
But I was there to hear your final breaths,
I witnessed your final moments in sorrow,
And for now, I need to be alone to overcome your death.

I won't stop moving on, even though my movements may be slow,
I'm glad you got your wish as you passed with a grin,
I will never forget that cheeky smirk on your face as you left,
Once my mind settles from this anger, the healing can begin.

I will never forget the screwballs,the parks, and your gentle touch,
Your calm presence remains to this day,
You will never really leave our hearts,
Even though we wish it could be, we knew you couldn't stay.

Since you've been gone it's all felt like a dream,
I've been on autopilot or what feels like forever,
Though you're physically gone, your story isn't quite done,
Through your family, there are chapters left that we have yet to discover.
