MY BIRTHDAY WISH
A Grief Poem

It's my 35th birthday
And my Indy is not here
I want her to be a part
Of all the birthday cheer

Betrayed on my birthday
My wish was to see
How my angel was doing
To have her talk to me

Sometimes I feel
She just ran away
And I have faith
She'll come back one day

But each day turns to weeks
And weeks into years
Holidays and Birthdays roll into one
Still filled with tears

Anger and Pain
Pulse through my veins
Every sunny day
Is still filled with rain

I long to hold her
To smell her
To see
To know she is safe
And happy

My heart is slowly healing
But there is still a void
I still have trouble sleeping
Sometimes still paranoid

I get this rushing feeling
Overwhelming fear
Reminicising joy
I want her near

But alas she is gone
Far far away
And I still hold the promise
Of seeing her one day

So Indy as I celebrate
I know you are here
Helping me blow out the candles
On another year

And one day soon
With joy and glee
I will see you again
Until then
I'm Patiently Waiting
