Ode to my Grandmother
You are the sweetest woman
That I have ever met
And even though I live with
All kinds and forms of regret
I can guarantee you one thing,
You I could never forget
I am a simple misfit
As you are well aware
You proposed to me kindness
Sometimes more than I could bare
But occasionally I would wonder:
Why bother to even care?
We are now closer than ever
And even though I think
Of running away with someone else
Who stole me with a wink
The guilt is overwhelming
And it makes my poor heart sink
That I have ever met
And even though I live with
All kinds and forms of regret
I can guarantee you one thing,
You I could never forget
I am a simple misfit
As you are well aware
You proposed to me kindness
Sometimes more than I could bare
But occasionally I would wonder:
Why bother to even care?
We are now closer than ever
And even though I think
Of running away with someone else
Who stole me with a wink
The guilt is overwhelming
And it makes my poor heart sink

This speaks to me as I'm closer to my grandmother then anyone in my family.
She sounds like she's a great grandmother but sometimes you can't stop what the heart wants.
But i can see the sadness of leaving someone so important. :)
Good read, very relatable.

Thank you so much! ^^ I know it's not an uncommon thing, but I still wanted to write a little something for her.
