Always Alive

A poem about losing a loved one to death

There’s nothing better than waking up to a new day

knowing that you’ll there for me,

There was nothing better than knowing that if I ever get locked out of happy thoughts,

You’d always be there with the key.

 

There isn’t a minute when you’re not on my mind,

You bring me the light that I need to myself find.

You made everything so clear, crystal clear,

I’ll always remember you, when my emotions I wash out,

Tear by tear.

With you, there wasn’t anything I feared,

But all of the sudden death’s claws appeared.

 

I know, as time goes on,

My wounds will heal,

Years will go by,

But they wont change the way I feel.

 

Every night before bed,

Countless memories will pop into my head,

These memories will push me ahead,

Along with the words you said.

 

I’ll forever lock away my memories of you so they wont escape,

I’ll forever play your figure and shape just like a skipping tape.

It’ll rewind itself,

There’ll be millions of copies up on the shelf.

 

I will never forget you,

The one person that showed me how to live this life,

I will never forget you,

The one person that showed me how to survive.

As long as I remember you,

You will always be alive.

We have all lost someone who we truly loved, this is a really heartfelt and beautiful poem

I love this bit especially.

" I'll forever lock away my memories of you so they wont escape,

I'll forever play your figure and shape just like a skipping tape.

It'll rewind itself,

There'll be millions of copies up on the shelf. "

made me think of someone i lost and how we really do play the memories back in our heads.

Keep writing.
