Can't accept it
Won't forget it
Can't speak quickly enough
Try to brush it off
But it's sitting on the counter
Then the chair
In the lights and in my hair
You're on the stairs
The driveway to
Then on a table, what happened to you?
Not fast enough
The curve not tight enough
Push it to the limits
Bust out a move
Forget the repercussions
Who cares about those who survive?
And can only thing "Why, God why?"
Questioning faith, religion, existence and the moon
Heart is blown up like a balloon
But it leaks
And I don't want to spend my time trying to forget
When in my head
You still haven't left
I don't want to wish I were older
Or bolder to actually come out and say what needs to be said
I don't care about beauty
How can I when you're not here?
To many emotions running like speed through my veins
I am usually okay with change
But this one hurts
We didn't experience enough
I am not old enough
The curve not tight enough now?
Now after all that was
And your picture reminds me of all that will never be
You can't live through me
I don't even know me anymore
My body is bare stretched out across the floor
I am running, reaching for the door
But I can't leave
Because this is all I have left
I feel it here more than there
Because your heart is your home
Now I know the love you held,
Brother you've never failed,
To take care of me

I recently lost my twenty year old brother in a one vehicle car crash. I have been writing since I was almost eleven, but I suppose with perfect understanding my most recent works have involved the death of my brother and my coping. Sometimes it seems that it is my only way of coping. And sometimes I can not even write anything.

you write as we feel, our need to desperatley pour out our soul Blissful Ignorance | Mar 26th, 2004
You write with no limits, with no boundaries to hold you back from all the different combinations of emoticians we as people edure day to day. And to have this so well expressed in your poem is.............beyond great
