~my dearest uncle this is for you~

Why did you leave us at such an early age?
I dont understand.
Why did you have to use drugs?
Why did you have to get aids?
Why did you have to leave us at such an early age?
You died when i was 4 and have forever ruined my valentines day.
I'm sorry i never really had the chance to get to know you,
but i do remember the very last thing you ever taught me.
I remember being 4 years old and you fighting and arguing with the nurses to
let me sit on the hospital bed with you,
when they finally gave up,
you sat me on your bed and you taught me how to play cards.
When i awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of crying 3 days
later,
i came into the living room and saw all the machines off and my mom crying,
i sat down next to her and asked:
"Whats wrong mommy?"
"Why are you crying?"
"I dont understand."
She explained to me that you had died.
That you had gone to a better place,
and that i should not cry out of sorrow,
but that i should cry out of happiness.

~My dearest uncle you have forever left a hole in my heart and that hole
will always be there.~

Please note that i am writing this out of a past experience. I was 4 when my
only uncle died. I am now 13 almost 14 and i am just getting started on
submitting my work to this site. I hope you enjoy all of my poems.
