Gone From The World

A years gone by since you left me alone.. With no trace of anything, but a room in this home.With medication and pictures all put up in a frame, but this home ain't a home since you've went away.You see I can sit in this house, and call it my own. But what's a home when the one you love is gone?And everything around you is a memory to be thrown. Cause with it still here, its hard to move on.The room that you slept in, it's still the same. It's too hard to just put all this away.And your bed, trust me, it's still in that place. Just where you left it, it's still there today.  The cries and the screams, I couldnt believe. That you left me alone, with no one but me.With my mom and my dad, but no family.With a smile above, but with pain underneath.  The day you got ill, I held your hand tight. I told you you'd make it, but grandma I lied.I knew you wouldn't, but I told you to fight.I tried to be strong, but inside I cried. See grandma I'm sorry, I never showed you I cared.I took you for granted, cause I was use to you there.Shoulda been there for you, but life wasn't fair.You were dying infront of me, all I did was stare.Moms blamed the doctors, tell me what could they do?They did all that they could, they tried to save you.We couldnt even do much, even though we tried to.But you left anyway, R.I.P to the family as well as to you.I saw your eyes close, as you said goodbye.  I felt your last breathe, as I held mine.Mom told me to stop crying, she told me you were fine.But you weren't and I knew this, my mother had lied.You see no person, no doctor could fool me that day.My hopes were high, but they came crashing away.Your breathing had stopped, your heart had shut down..I saw everyone crying, the whole family around.I knew it was time, for you to go home.But what about us that you're leaving alone?What about the things you had left behind?
The medication, your clothes, the happiness, the cries?I pray everyday for this pain to mend..But I know it won't till I see you again.And I know God's up there watching me write.And possibly you, right by his  side.I look up and smile and hoping you are too.I love you so much as I sit here and miss you.

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. She's in a better place. I really like the rhyme scheme in this poem as well as the structure. Hope your family and you mend swiftly from this.
