A Broken Glass
Like my shattered past
Strange , these things happen so fast
The sky is blue
Yet the world's turned gray
What can I do ?
I've nothing left to say
I never will forget the day
When we got the call
My fist meets the wall
And I fall to the floor
Can't be strong anymore
~As I watch my father fall to the ground
A confused child looks around
I need to be strong right now
Need to calm down now
When he asks me why I cry
And I must sit my nephew down
And tell him my brother just died
Sitting on a rock
At a quiet state - park
Later on that night
I'm already half - cocked
It's just now getting dark
God , what a pitiful sight
Standing in the mist
With a broken glass held to my wrist
Wondering if I should just end it all here
If he did it , why can't I ?
Escape my pain , my sorrow , my tears
I slowly begin to cry
Looking down at the rain - soaked ground
Another cold tear runs silently down
Drinking just to help myself cry
Making me feel like I want to die
All through the grass
Lies my shattered glass
And I realize I'm being too risky
Making love to a bottle of whiskey
Then it all fell into place ...
Itself !
I can't believe I was ready to erase ...
Myself !
Saved just because some broken glass
Reminded me of my shattered past
My fateless life was saved that cruel night
I threw the glass and sat down to write
This poem that you now read
Has done my life's greatest deed
To be read by you and many others
Dedicated to those who have lost a brother
Sometimes , still , I wonder why
But maybe he didn't do it to die
Though he had no reason to give
Maybe , he did it so that he could live
In my mind
His++body++is++lying++
But in my heart
His++spirit++is++flying++
Dennis Moran , dedicated to Kevin Patrick Moran , my brother |
