I'll never forget the day
a little girl cried as hard
as an 8 year old possibly could.
I'll never forget the way
the little girl grabbed hold
of a teddy bear and never let go.
I'll never forget how
a little girl never got comforted
like she probably should have.
I'll never forget how
the little girl was so confused
and no one helped her to understand.
I'll never forget the day
a little girl lost her best friend
right in front of her.
I'll never forget how
the little girl felt so lost
and no one ever helped her find her way.
It's me, I'm the little girl,
and I'll never forget
the day I lost my grandma.

the green upside down Q.
freshman year.
American Studies.
you put a tiny, shimmering,
green Q on my school computer.
upside down.
i'm surprised it's still there, honestly.
but i'm glad it is.
through thick and thin,
it's there and it reminds me of you;
all of the good, and sadly, the bad.
it's getting pretty old.
it's got about three more months
to live on my computer,
and after that, who knows
where it'll live then?

you.
you're all i think about,
every day and every night.
you're never not on my mind,
and when you are,
you never leave.
your smile makes my day
and your laugh makes my night.
i love the way your hair
falls onto your forehead.
i'll never be able to get over
the way you look at me.
i love the way my hand
fits into yours.
i love you,
and i hope that never ends.

when i am weary
i look up.
when i am scared
i look up.
when i miss you
i look up.
i find hope in the sky
knowing you're there
looking down on me.

It’s my happiness,
My brightness,
My future.
You are yellow,
And yellow is my favorite color

Blue is you.
It’s the color of your eyes.
It’s the color of the Pepsi can
That was always in your hand.
It’s the color of your dickies
That you always wore.
It’s the color of you.
Blue is you.
It’s the love you
Gave to your family.
It’s the generosity you
Gave to everyone you ever met.
It’s the kindness
That was in your heart.
Blue is you.
It’s the pack of cigarettes
That lived in your pocket.
It’s the money
That lived with your cigarettes.
It’s Walker, Texas Ranger
That you watched religiously.
Blue is you.
It’s the memories
I’ll carry with me forever.
It’s your rare smile
I'll always see when I think of you.
It’s your hugs and kisses
I’ll always cherish.
Blue is you.
Forever and ever.

She sits alone
on her bedroom floor
Listening to the sound
of her dads old records playing
at 9 in the afternoon.
Her room sits above
the table her dad drinks at
Listening to the sound
of yelling and glasses breaking
at 9 in the afternoon.
She sits alone
on her bedroom floor
Crying into her hands because
her dads back to his old habits again
at 9 in the afternoon.
Her room sits above
the table her dad drinks at
Now he's slumped over sleeping
in the chair he sits in
at 9 in the afternoon.

On this day of remembrance
you aren't here for me to say
thank you,
for everything you've done
for everything you'll do
from all the sacrifices you've made
to the decisions that had to be made,
i thank you from the bottom of my heart

you're coming home soon.
i can hardly wait.
it's been close to a year you've been gone.
i hope you haven't changed from the last time i saw you.
and i hope i haven't changed from the last time you saw me.
you've missed a lot.
i got my permit.
and i turned the big 16.
grandma would've been 96 this year.
dad turned 53.

Today I turned 16.
A year or so ago
if you asked me
I probably would've
told you I never thought
Id see the day I turned 16,
and here I am.
I'm alive,
I'm breathing,
I'm trying to be happy.
I'm better than I was
a year or so ago.
