That Day Is Getting Closer Poem by Kimberly Santistevan

How can I live the rest of my life without you?
How can I smile knowing that I cannot see yours?
How can I go on without you here next to me?

I have lived twelve years without you in my life.
No one tells me anything
It all just seems like lies.

The anniversary of your death is only three days away
As well as my own birthday.

I don’t want it to be here
But what can I do to stop that day from coming?
All I know is that you will never be there.

This year has been really hard for me
To realize that I truly miss you.

These tears keep pouring down my face
As the nights come and go
Turn into days.

I sit here and there
Nothing changes the way I feel.
No one seems to really care
What I have inside me.

I miss you grandpa,
You were the one person I looked up to.

Since you have been gone,
No one seems to remember that day
They don’t remember me.

I don’t want that day to come
So what shall I do?
I will try to be happy for you.
