I Remember

I can remember his laugh,
his smile and jokes.
I remember our fights
and his painful pokes.

I remember the games we played,
wrestling and tag.
I remember how he teased me,
calling me a dork and a fag.

I remember the music he played,
always rock and roll.
I remember when he taught me
to get the ball in the goal.

I remember the way he talked
with intelligent words and phrases.
I remember how he helped me study,
So i passed all the pop quizzes.

I remember his first girlfriend,
they went out for some time.
I remember his graduation,
and his first glass of wine.

I remember as he drove off that night,
I felt something was wrong.
He was off to a bar
Where he'd play a few songs.

I remember watching the news,
A riot had broken out.
I remember how I started to cry,
Scream and shout.

I remember seeing him
in the hospital bed.
I remember his last words,
"good bye" and he was dead.

I remember how I cut
my precious arms that night.
In memory of my brother,
I wished all good night.
