[hometext] => I wrote this about my grandma after my grandpa died last year.
[bodytext] => Old woman sitting in her chair Rocking back and forth Talking to someone but nobody's there She's all alone There's no one to say her name Won't somebody please Keep her company And the years they pass her by But there's never anyone by her side She doesn't know that she's alone Doesn't notice when there's no reply Cause the hurt takes a toll On her forever tortured soul Making her forget all the happy memories The hopelessness is there Hiding somewhere She can't let it speak She's not giving up Hearing things she doesn't want to hear Seeing things she doesn't want to see She's losing it in this world of pain Won't somebody please Just say her name She doesn't want her time to be now There's too much left undone So she says her prayers at night Lord please, just one more day They found her with a note Clutched tightly in her hand Written long ago, with tears that have stained "When you die alone, you fly alone" One by one they read it out loud Silently crying to themselves Oh and what will they say When they look down in her face Seeing the smile that once was there Faded away [comments] => 1 [counter] => 267 [topic] => 48 [informant] => lonely-nobody [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
