Two Brothers

I learn how fragile life can be in 1988-1989. Better to be kind to your friends and family. World punish them enough already.

Two brothers


 After years of running toward a road.
 I could not find.


I found out why I should of been kinder.
Learn to forgive.


Be a friend instead of a b*****d.
With only his dreams as his goals.


I look at my life with so many victories.


But the gift of love wasn't one of my skills.


I wished too late to listen.
Instead of lecture.


I learn not all people want wealth and power.


Some people are happy with small dreams.
 

They need someone to lean on.


Two young boys of 18 years.
One year apart took their own lives.

They were not equips to handle the fight the world of living.


When they needed the gentleness of a soft heart.
Someone to give them hope.


No-one was there.


They decided death was sweeter then life.

 

Alone and without any notice or words.

 

They kick away a chair.

 

Told the world to f**k off.

Why can't I feel complete?
 

I try to help them.
My hard words were cold and demanding.


I don't visit their graves.
There is nothing left of them.


 I remember two strong boys running together toward a better place.

 
I hope.


I have become more gentle.
I accept mistakes.


I tell friends and family.

 
Please come to my home and everything will be alright.


Like all fools we become sorry when the story ends.

A heart wrenching poem that I know comes straight from your heart. To know any life was lost so young is tormenting to all that cared about them. Too many of our troubled youngsters choose this way out instead of seeking help for whatever is bothering them. Valentine

I know. We have lost a few Poets on the W.C. Suicide leave a mess behind. People don't understand when kids killed themselves with a open life. Thank you for reading and the comment dear friend.

We had lost a few. Everyday should be a good day. We are alive and can do great things still.

Very good old poem and sad

First of all, thanks for sharing your story and teaching the rest of us a lesson. Second of all, I want you to know that I don't think you should blame yourself for losing these two boys. I know them taking their life in your face has made you believe that much is true (as if you could have stopped them) but it seems that these boys had already made up their mind about the action they decided to take. Don't get me wrong, I'm against suicide and I probably would've done the same exact thing you did.
Third of all, our poem is great and it gives the reader more insight into who you are as a person, as a friend. It makes us thankful that you shared a valuable lesson in life about life with us.

The last line is the heart of the poem, and one that should be quoted. Your old poems are the best, although written in difficult times.

A very beautiful poem but very sad. It seems it takes the death of someone before we wake up. This is very honest and has a message I wish people could learn.

Wow! This was a very powerful poem. I could relate to everything you were saying. I enjoyed the story you were telling and the emotions it took me through. So sad but so very true!

Beautiful poem love!
The end line really pulls it in :)

"Like all fools we become sorry when the story ends.".............thats always the case, we need to embrace one another, however hard that may be before the end does make fools of us!
Wonderfully potrayed love, a moving poem!
