Crash (written 2-24-97, two days after I lost my brother to an early grave)

I was so high,
I could touch the sky.
Nothing could go wrong,
Nothing at all could hold me down.
Work, School, Life, all were going so well,
I envied my life,
Few could proclaim the happiness I had.

Oh what hell,
Everythings come crashing down.
All because of her.
How could he do this?
Why would he do this?
Why end his life, not now, please not now.

I feel so low,
My brother is gone.
Taken away by a vengeful witch.
She who he loved so well,
Told him to go to hell.
Fifteen years,
Fifteen years of wedded bliss
All for not,
The pain he could not take.
She sealed his fate.

Oblivious to the world,
He had us all fooled,
He said he was fine,
What a line
He played us all for fools
He promised me he'd be fine
He lied to me that day,
For the only time.

If only I could of said bye,
Before he took that fateful ride.
Down the road he went,
To the lake,
He sat and peered,
Punched the gas,
And there he went,
Never a sign of a single tap of the brakes,
Airborne went the truck,
Completely flipping in the air.

Now all we have is hope,
We watch the divers go down,
And come up
Each time we hope to see him
But no, it wasn't to be.

My brother is gone,
I miss him so dear.
The paper says
"Local business man dies in crash."
He was dead before he hit the water,
He was dead inside,
When she said goodbye.

Trimming trees was his thing
And a damn good job he done,
He taught me it all,
I was more then happy to learn
A terrific boss,
He commanded perfection from me
When I wasn't up to the standard of where I was to be
He greeted me with the caring hand of a brother,
And guided me through it all,
Showed me how it had to be.

No more,
He's gone,
He took that fate filled ride,
This can't be,
He's so strong

Ahhhhh but he wasn't,
He died for love,
The love that he lost
He felt she was his all,
And he didn't want to be without her.

Why?
Why did he have to do this to us?
We miss you so much.

Rest in Peace Big Bro,
We love you, and never will forget you
Keep an eye on me,
Keep me in line
I'm gonna shive
Yes I am,
And I'm gonna do it for you,
Like you always said I could.

Rest in peace Roger 8-17-57 to 2-22-97 Watch over me bro.

You're way too modest when you say that you're not good in English, I admire your skills..this poem was very heartbreaking to read and I think its one of the best I've read from you so far.. you always use lots of emotion in your poetry with powerful words, and that's more important then always rhyming... seems like it comes natural for you....keep it up babe. :D
