Anyone could hear my cries
Miles away, into the distance
The sun was setting, painting the sky
With beautiful colors of orange, pink
And blue
The horizon, though beautiful,
Could not take the sorrow from my heart
My feet pounded the Earth in anguish
As I raced to see what would become of my future
Or what would not
Even my heart, strong, could not bare the sight
Of my very own mother, sitting cold, still
Tears painfully broke from my eyes
My lips parted, but my voice was broken
And my words were as a shattered diamond
Pieces of my heart were scattered about me
As the memories flooded my mind, my breath was lost
After all that we had been through
This was the way we had to part; the sorrow
That slowly, painfully rose into my throat
Every inch of me was numb
When the news of my brother's fate was sent
There was nothing I could do; helplessness
Bore into my shattered soul
Our friendship could never be replaced
Emptiness fills my heart, where they once stood
And when night is by my side, I cry for them
All the words in the world can not explain, the pain
That I now feel; deep into the bottomless pit of my soul
I can feel that day; It haunts my every movement

I didnt go into detail about the accident, the poem would be too long.. my intention with this poem was to show a little piece of my pain.

Yeah life is a funny thing man. Everything happens so randomly without any notice at all. I too have had a few people die on me. And although it still bothers me that I will never be able to see them again, well on earth anyways. You just have to move on with your life, and keep living. I just think about it, like, if they were still here, and I was the one who died... I wouldn't want them to be sad about it all the time. Though it will always hurt, I can only hope that there is some sort of afterlife.
But anyways... great write and good luck in the contest man.
