I will remember you forever..

Loosing a loved one leaves the biggest hole in your heart, but memories always stay..

Remember when we were little?

We used to play hide and seek

Your brothers would always find us

No matter where we would be.

 

We would all laugh, then start once again

Over and over, we'd go, up till the end

Oh how much fun that was

How we would laugh.

 

Those are the times I remember

Those days that will forever last

The moments of our secrets

Whispered in the dark night.

 

Under the covers we would stay

Our own little hide-a-way

You and I, it would always be

For like sisters we swore we were.

 

And as years passed by quickly

On this we forever swore

Nothing came between us

No one pulled us apart.

 

For no matter where we lived or how far

You were always in my heart

Times of sorrow, of pain, and hurt

You would always stand beside me.

 

No matter what it took

Then boyfriends came and went

Yet you stood true to yours

I got married, you wore bright pink.

 

Never knowing how you hated it

It was years later that you would speak

Oh how we laughed, the pictures we saw

Of you and I, and the memories that were stored.

 

Your life was not perfect, nor was mine as we aged

Talking on the phone we were, each and every day

About silly little tidbits, some minor some more

We found in each other the piece to hold our fall.

 

Children came and we would see in them

A little part of ourselves, their smile, eyes

Looks of long ago, it amazed us in every way

For to realize that what we once were.

 

Now stood our children to behave in the same way

Each thing they did, we would laugh and wink

And remark on how so alike they were

To you or I, just from those days, when we were young and gay.

 

I always thought you would be there for me

To listen, to talk, to laugh, or just to be

The one who would lift me, when I felt down

And if it was you instead, then I would be around.

 

But fate can be so cruel, for this I found

On the day I heard the news

The pictures still behind closed lids of tears

Of what was once my cousin who would loose.

 

Her family, her life, her hopes and dreams

Her once happy life she had grown to be

For on that fateful day, when all went away

She left us all alone.. And Lord we were so afraid!

 

Yet not only her did it come to pass

For with her she took something more

For in my heart she stood, since childhood

Now gone was a part that had since died.

 

My cousin, my sister, my heart, my life

And nothing will ever be the same

For where she stood, now a whole takes its place

And tears flow so gently...

 

Like a river for what was...

 

Like a torrent for what will never be again...

 

And I say each night to the stars so bright..

 

To you my love...

 

My cousin... My friend... 

 

I will remember you forever..

 

Till the very end...

nice, i feel for someone just like that, its somewhat related to my poem shadows i wrote, it's a beautiful memory of your child hood that i can reflect on when i grow to an adult and it well symbolize my love hen i find that person, it fully describes life.

First, I'm going to make a quick snap judgment. The format is VERY similar to most writers and I feel as though the 4 "lines" (sentence) structure throughout the entire piece makes it much longer than it is. My first suggestion would be to arrange it so it's not in a four structure cut off and expand so it's not sentence after the sentence the whole way down... break up your lines. "For like sisters we swore we were" - This is very awkward tongue. It's almost, uncomfortable to say -- breaks up the piece. I get the same vibe when reading the 4th stanza. The word choice is ver uncomfortable and I feel as though it's unhelpful repetition. You involuntarily, I think, throw in lines that are descriptive to help the poem, but in fact they hard. "Got married... you wore pink." This is just, awkward word choice because it brings the reader to an undeniable stop. I cannot bring myself to focus to read the rest of the piece because it's so hard to continuously follow. Maybe the next piece will suit me better.
