Grandpa by http://afflatedzingara.tumblr.com/
The way you inhale the sweet scented air as you walk through the door that you shut with care
Breaks my heart for though you dont know it yet
Love doesnt live here anymore
Your body sways speaking in silence the words nobody else dares to say
The removal of your snow caked coat is an image my heart simply cannot take
Crackling flames of the fire cause the cancer riddled dog to perspire
Your glasses fog as the ice crystals melt from your beard
This is exactly what the counselor feared
“if only, if only” my soul screams aloud
if only you were more than a memory
if only this were real and not a mental cloud
I wish you were here
With your arms around me holding me dear
Once again i wish i could say I love you grandpa with a smile instead of tears
