"Ode to David"   5 - 27 - 03



i cry these tears,

falling memories,

of the days of you



i drown in thought,

forever caught,

hit me out of the blue



from eyes so brown,

fragile and young,

i hurt and you're not around



i miss you brother,

one true friend,

i'm a flame being smothered



i wish you hadn't left,

departed so harshly,

i felt as though you were theft



yet in your place a holler,

i know you thought of me,

for you left me that twenty dollars



what it was for i don't know,

an unknown debt repaid,

but i wish you hadn't had to go....

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i write this in memory fo my late brother who comitted suicide. when he died he left me a CD by Creed - My Own Prison. and behind it was a crisp, clean, slightly folded twenty dollar bill. i cry every time i think about it... i guess i'll never understand why, or maybe it's becuz i just haven't read it deeply enuf or choose not to...
