I remember the day that he died
How I had felt the minute I had awoke
Melancholy
Yet I didn't know why
I remember school
How drawn out it had been that day-
How tired,
How frustrated,
How worn out I had been
I remember coming on the computer
Talking to my friends through AOL IM
How torn apart I had seemed from them
I remember getting off
Walking down the long corridor
From my brother's room to mine
Grasping hold of the door handle
And the phone ringing
I remember collapsing right then and there
I knew...
I just automatically knew
I knew you were gone
I remember lying there on the floor
My eyes swollen with tears
My hands shaking,
-Held against my lips
Listening to my father on the phone
Talking to Uncle Skip
You were gone
The only Grandfather I ever knew
You were gone
Cancer finally took its hold
And you were gone.
