PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A LIFE, A STORY
A BROTHER, A FRIEND
I STILL CAN'T REASON WHY
YOUR JOURNEY HAD TO END

I TRY NOT TO GET ANGRY
GEE, HOW I'VE TIRED
I'VE TRIED TO SEE YOUR ANGUISH
AND THE PAIN YOU FELT INSIDE

BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN STIGMA,
ITS SOMETHING I WISH I'D NEVER HEARD,
I WISH THAT IT JUST WASN'T POSSIBLE
I WISH THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH WORD

BECAUSE LIFE CAN BE A ROLLER COASTER
MOST TIMES ITS A BUMPY RIDE
BUT WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GET OFF,
AND CHOOSE SUICIDE?

CAITLIN IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL,
SHE WAS THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE
YOU LOVED HER SO VERY MUCH
BUT SHE ALSO KEEPS ASKING "WHY"?

I KNOW THAT YOU LIFE,
WAS CUT WAY TO SHORT
I'VE TIRED ADDING UP THE LOGIC
AND AT TIMES IT COMES TO NAUGHT

YOU WERE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING
BUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT,
YOU DID EVERYTHING WITH A PASSION
YOU GAVE IT YOUR VERY BEST SHOT

AND LIFE IS NOT FOREVER,
TIME, ONLY GOES ONE WAY
AND EVERYONE WILL LEAVE THIS EARTH
EVERYBODY HAS THAT DAY

AND ALL THAT IS EVER LEFT
ARE THE MEMORIES TO HAND
TO TREASURE AGAINST THE TIDES OF TIME
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND.

R.I.P BILLY
ALWAYS WILL BE IN MY LIFE AS MY BEST FRIEND, AS MY BROTHER
