Why Me

by: Kat A. Fonell

I did this poem four years ago after my grandmother passed away

Why did you have to go and leave me all alone

I just had to listen as mama was on the phone

I heard you had died last night

and that ended your long cancer fight.

Why me, why me, why did it have to be me

when I heard I like that can't be.

Now you're in heaven with Grampie and my friends bro

but you're not here to watch your grand kids grow.

I love you with all my heart

Now that you're gone my life is falling apart.

I could go and talk to you when ever I like

even if you lived with Patty and Mike.

Why me, why me, why did it have to be me

When I heard I like that can't be.

Now I just sit here and weep

My love will travel with you and that's yours to keep.

When I die and go to heaven and you'll be waiting for me

That will be a long time of grief in our history.

Why me, why me, why did have to be me

When I heard I'm like that can't be.
