Despair

Despair

Devastated and ConfusedĀ 

Sitting in a daze on top of my bed

Hearing agonising sounds of despair from downstairs!!

Dad came in and said `its time to go`..

What I was going to see I just didn't know...

I walked into the room

I saw the long think box

REALITY hit me

As a tree hit her!!

She was GONE

Taking so suddenly

So young and beautiful..

That didn't matter now!!

I rubbed my hand along her head, she was cold and pale she wasĀ 

DEAD, DEAD, DEAD

I touched the clothes in which she wore, knowing I had wrapped them at Christmas, just a month before...

I walked towards the room

Where my eldest brother lay

Devastated and speechlessĀ 

What were we supposed to say?

Maybe in the next life she will be my brothers wife

Very powerful and emotionally frank.
An excellent work.

Reminds me of Seamus Heaney's Mid-term Break, actually.

Keep on keeping on!
