I Did Not Say Goodybye

Hey, do you remember me?

Back then, I was just a kid

A kid who runs around your house

A kid whom you always teach some tricks to

A kid that always gives you food

A kid that has no manners while eating

A kid whose always there to help you

A kid who's always by your side

But time passed by, and many changed

I changed the way I treat you

And how I respect you

I have been unkind to you

I don't know why I changed

Maybe because I don't want you to go out with us

Even though I know that there is no one

That there is nobody you can talk to.

Because you're just alone at your house

The people around you are busy

Some people that you love

Are far away from you

So my mother told me

That I need to be by your side

Because you need help

For you are too old to be alone in your house

You need someone to help you to walk

That serves as my reason

For changing the way I treat you

Because I need to be by your side

So my friends and I always play at your house

And you, you're always there to watch us

Then you ask us what we're doing

And we say, "We are ballerinas!"

But you laughed at what we said

Then we ask you, "What's funny?"

But you did not answer our question

You just laughed and laughed

That smile of yours

It's, like, hiding something

But one day, you just got weaker and weaker

So they've decided

That they need someone

That can always by your side

So your other son moved to your house

To watch and help you

Because I don't have the strength

And if that will happen again to you

Maybe I don't know what to do

Or maybe I won't be by your side

To help you

Because I'm just busy in doing my school works

And that's why they needed to find someone else

Somebody who can really help you

When I was in my first year high of school

I would always show you my card

Then you will say,

"You don't have a high grades."

But even though I have low grades,

I keep on saying,

"No way! I did get high grades."

And you'll just laugh and laugh

But when I see you sad

Because the one you love

will leave you again

I badly want to be your comfort

At the age of twelve

My dad told me about your story

With your love one,

Your wife who left you

And the four kids that you both have

Because of the power that she wants

And I did not realize that

Because of the way you treat her

When she lost her fortune

She came back to you

And instead of hating her

You just accepted her

But she did not stay too long

And she left you again

Not because of money

But because of her child

She cared for that child

But I don't know who that child is

And it made me wonder

Why you've accepted her

Even though she did bad things to you

Like that day, when you don't have money

To buy food for your children

While your wife selfishly wastes the money for nothing

And then comes another day,

The day that you accepted her once more

But when you're the one who needs help,

She just disappears

And she will just show her shelf

When she is in need

Why can't she be there to help you?

Why did she need to leave after you've just accepted her again?

If I were you I would not accept a person like her

But the most hardest part is the fact that I need to accept

That you don't even remember me

Because you're too old

Because you have a disease that cannot be cured

And that the day will come

When you will leave us

It was hard for us to accept that

You died but you did not remember me

You died but i did not say good bye

You died but I did not say sorry

For all the bad things that I've done

I just hope you'll know

That I made this spoken poetry for you

As a way to say goodbye to you,

My greatest grandpa boy.
