He Never Woke Up...

by Emily   Mar 11, 2005


It was just a normal day
i woke up to the sun
my brother went to a party, had Innocent fun, like he always does
mom and dad upstairs having some eggs
i went to wake up my brother, he wasn't there

I went upstairs, mom was on the ground
dad wasn't home, he was out
i tried yo calm mom down, asked her why she was crying
but the look in her eyes, something was seriously wrong

Here i am in black
watching him, my only brother, go 6 feet down
it wasn't right or fair to watch him go
he wasn't the one drinking, god took the good one

The drinker lived, he was the bad one
why did you take my brother?
did you like him better?
god this isn't fair
to put my family though this
its more then i can bear

Please give me a reason god
I'll try to understand
why its my brother
thats the one thats dead

Theres still time god
please make him breath
make him stand up and scream
"LOOK AT ME!"

No god
this isn't fair
his eyes are still closed
he isn't breathing air

My mom is still crying
my dad is on his knees
please, please stop it god
give me back my brother
this is killing me

I stood there for hours
when everyone was gone
waiting for him to wake up
i wished on every star
when it was dark
...he never woke up.

*NOT A TRUE STORY*

    Death is an endless sleep in wich we dream dreams no mortal had dreamnt before, rather dark or peaceful is created within our own imagination of what Divine is or isnt. I loved the illustration in this poem. it was vibrent, it brought me back to my own brothers funral, watching him go down, watching the grave keeper pour the dirt ontop of his casket, being angry that there was nothing I could do to wake him up. It brought back many emotions in me and many memories. I honnor my brothers life, and try to live everyday like it was my last. thank you for reminding me why I still fight to live

    even though that isnt true, it is still very sad, and really good at the same time! XOXO
