Fallen warrior



In My heart you exist forever,
Some words from my heart to my dear grandmother,
I won't say deceased because to my heart
You'll live forever,
There's a special place in my heart
That only you could fill whenever,
I needed you.

It broke my heart to lose you,
The fact that you are gone to me is an issue,
I'll forever have to face the grief without you,
But you didn't go alone on your journey,
A part of my happiness went with you,
Feelings of sadness and grief are so many,
I so wish to see you again.

The day you asked to see me ,I came
The day things were never the same,
The day God took you home.
Our warrior has fallen indeed
If I was like you I would plant the seed,
For the family of ours and those in need.

You were the diamond that mended once you've spoken,
Now that you are gone,
Our family chain is broken,
Things aren't the same as no one wants to arisen,
Our love for each other,
The chain shall link again in heaven,
As God calls us one by one.

A tomorrow without you tears me apart,
An over-unsimplified idea is to start,
To practice to live without you,I'm stuck
My feelings are marked by exaggeration,
I can see there is no luck,
I keep crying, day and night
Like an engine of a truck.

I don't have the courage to pick-up these pieces
Of my heart,as it is based on prejudices ,
My mind is filled with so many sentences,
I can't get myself together,I am so hopeless
My heart is now covered in sadness,
Killing my dreams so I end up sleepless,
I wouldn't be afraid if I end u loveless
My love is with you in heaven.
