Harley

Looking back over nearly two years
twas then a child consumed by fears
Now lying all alone in a troubled sleep
I pray the lord his soul to keep.
I will never forget that night
It was a quarter to four
when i heard some one
tap tap tapping on my chamber door
Twas not the raven to quothe Never More,
But my grandmother
I knew something was in store...
"Where is my momma?" Is the first thing that i said
tears spilled out of her beautiful blue eyes
"Megan,your mother is fine...but Harleys dead."
At these words I hit the ground
and with my fists,I began to pound
Screaming as loud as anyone possible could
"MY BABY...MY.....MY....Brother...WHAT HAPPENED?"
~*~
"A car accident has claimed the life of an 11 year old boy"
Is what the all of the papers said
I couldnt help but sleeping for days and often wishing
That I was the one dead.
The funeral came and went by quite peacefully
as all around me things began to change
Our mother looked sick and hollow
she looked rather distant and strange!
The years are passing quickly now,
but his voice rings in my mind....
"I love you so much,Sister..."
OH,WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME BEHIND??
I dont think that this can get better
but the pain will ease with time
And i will hold you forever little one
in the hollows of my mind...

Sister misses you more than she could ever put into words.
shes knows,shes tried.

Author notes

My little brother,Harley, was killed in a car accident almost two years ago and that would have to be the most painful thing i have felt. I miss him so much and i still cry every day for him. I miss him and no words could ever describe that pain..But here is this poem and i tried to do just that but it still doesnt capture it all the way. Hope you enjoy!

    I love this! I feel for your loss. You have my blessings and I imagine your brother is standing beside you even now, watching over you and wishing he were there to tell you he's still around. <3 He'll always be there.

    Wow

    I really love how you express yourself, Megan. The way you borrowed from other poets and made it something so unique to you is just beautiful, especially what you did with Poe.
    You have amazing talent, and I do love this poem. You made me feel as you felt, and I did cry. I love it. I just love it.
    By the way, I believe Harley really loves it too.

    i'm sorry...

    you have done a really good job at expressing your feelings here...i am soo sorry you had to loose your lil bro that way.........


    can i share two scriptures with you :

    1)Revelation 21:4 "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more ,neither will mourning no out cry nor pain."

    2) John 5:28 " all those in the memorial tombs....will come out "


    you see my friend , Jehovah God has promised that there will come a time when there will be no more death ,and he promises a ressurection ,so there is a hope of you seeing you lil man again and living with him eternally in a paradise on earth ....

    that is trully something to look forward to .....so as much as it hurts,i know,please dont think of it as though u will never see him again....there is that hope ,which i hold dear to my heart ,and you should to ......


    all the best ...
