Anne
(poems go here) Anne!
Morning
A very dreaded
part of the day.
When most humans are sleeping
But me of course awake I lay.
Like a spy at work
I was intercepting the phone conversation,
between my mother
and my aunt her carrier pigeon.
Without warning she fired her shots
aimed straight at my heart.
Her bullets were words
her gun was her mouth
and the blood my tears began to start.
Quietly at first
because they were still on the phone
My tears would be saved for later
when I would be alone.
However, I could no longer hold back.
As soon as the phone call ended
and there was nothing left to say
my thunderous alarming cries
slapped the ominous silence in it's face.
My mother was suddenly aware
I heard of my grandmother's death.
It was too late though
as soon as I heard the news
a piece of my heart immediately left.
My mother attempted to console me,
it was obvious that it wouldn't happen.
She was planning to not tell me
Because she anticipated my dismal reaction.
I was infuriated, morose,melancholy
and so were my cries.
They waged war with reality
as if her death had been lies.
Reality stood firm
refusing to be ignored.
I sheltered the rest of my heart
but it came pounding on my door.
Its hammering merciless fists
continuously came down upon me
No matter how much I pleaded for it to cease
It would not let me be.
I bawled, screeched, and sobbed
just for it to stop
Wasn't it enough that she died
and my whole world was flopped.
She didn’t deserve to die
even if it was of old age
she was basically an angel
kind, helpful and sage.
She was a paragon for all parishioners
and cherished by many.
She was inestimable and loyal
and a basic part of me.
She was important
She was perfect
She was loved
She was amazing, but
now she is gone.
and I will be forced to move on.
Reality got what it wanted
as it stripped away part of my soul
She's never coming back
I finally with my last aching breath accepted.
Apart of me died.
Never to be awoken again.
I truly really loved her.
Forever engraved on my heart
will be Anne!
