Is there a reason for this madness?
I long for the nights with peace
allowing myself to get lost
holding in nothing
I can remember your face
when I held you for a moment
Never once did you cry

Wondering why you had to go
selfishness is all that consols me
I could have taken care of you
you didn't have to leave us
we would have made a great family
I would have been the best aunt
you would be a year and a half when i drove

I only know you from pictures
I can't help mold your life from here
I can't help you find true joy like I did
Only in my dreams I can imagine how it could be
I know your life wouldn't be better here
You get to travel and have a brother
A life i am jealous over

Everyday I think of you
don't think we don't love you
Don't think we left you
If I could tell you anything at all
Don't wonder why his happened to you
make a difference in this world
thats all an Aunt can say to her niece, bye K.N

*sits back and ponders* There's obviously some deep emotion in this one.  I think that it would make a bigger impact if you took out the "bye" at the end. It just kind of detracts from the rest of the poem.  Definitely a good write, though I'm sorry that you have to be going through this.

when I use the "bye" I am saying that I am alright with this loss, i can now move one. I said what needed to be said but shes not going to be my main focus in life anymore like she once was

i really liked this one.... i can tell that you must really be having a hard time dealing with this.  but i do have to agree with skyfire, the "bye" at the end takes away some of the 'oomph' that the poem has.  but thank you for sharing this with us.

Could tell this had a lot of emotion.  But it is better to be able to let things go, it still hurts and they're still gone, but to just be able to go on with your life...  It's a hard thing to do.  Very good write.
