Loss of a loved one Poems
Do you see me?
by mika bandy
What would you say if you could see me now?
Nothing.
Feelings were never your strong suite,
but you’d hug my shaking body, and you’d rub my back.
You’d fix a bowl of ice cream.
No,
You’d fix two.
Couldn’t let me eat alone.
You’d finally asked why I was crying, but I’d never be able to tell you.
What would I say?

Thirty-five days
by mika bandy
It’s been eleven months since you passed,
eleven since my first Christmas without you,
eight since I got my license,
six since my senior prom,
six since my graduation,
five since Shane turned seven,
three since mom turned forty-seven,
two since I turned eighteen,
in ten days, it’ll be thanksgiving,
and in thirty-five days it'll be a year.
