To my grandmother(Jaje) who is very close to my heart. Today I say goodbye, tomorrow i'll see you again.


Poem Artwork


She laid straight on the linen bed
With her eyes wild open
Fighting to take a breath,
Her mouth silently closed
Whereas, she always had a word to say

With every breath she took
The clock ticks
For then we knew
Her time has come

So many tears dropped
Wishing, hoping she never leaves
All we ever wanted
Was a miracle, to keep her alive

When I touch her (once) soft cheeks
Her face was cold
And kept getting colder
Until the clock struck twelve

At the end of the clock’s count
Her last breath was gone.
A sword pierce through my heart
Living only the memories of her
I held her by my hands
And whispered these words;
“Goodbye grandma, goodbye”
