2 years ago I wrote a poem about Cat Woman 2 years from then it still hurts to think about. You see, 2 seconds turned to 2 minutes turned to 2 hours turned to 2 days turned to 2 months and now it’s turned to 2 years. They say it gets better when you lose a loved one. They say you can get over it. How is that true though, when on her birthday I can’t help but cry? When on the anniversary I work with tears in my eyes avoiding looks from my coworkers just to keep my pain hidden inside? Even just days like my birthday I think of her. 2 years will turn into 4 years to 6 to 8 to 10 years and things will never change. I listened to my grandmothers breathing Cat Woman playing on the tv in the background her breathing slowing. On days like today I think of her and I sit here and I write this poem with tears in my eyes. and it hurts so much when she’s on my mind. I miss her everyday and while there are days it is easier There are also days where it’s difficult just to get out of my bed get up without crying and hold myself together. It still hurts to think about Cat Woman from 2 years ago.
The anniversary of my grandmother's death recently passed and I felt the need to write another poem to her.
