The split between us
runs deeper than the grave.
The lives we live
grow colder with each passing day.

What will be your life?
The fear of imminant death
How long will you stay?

You've come anew
to pull us apart again.
And still I wonder
how did you get this way?

I am a coward
My job was to protect you
Which failure was worse?

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

Thanks for the reply.  Sorry for the ambiguity.  It's another poem about my brother.

tough questions you ask yourself...

edge to the write that I like..even knowing it is painful in many ways to deal with for you..you give us the edge that goes with the things you feel inside and it allows us as readers to connect... I don't need the specifics to understand the feeling...

nicely done

Cpat:

Thanks for the reply.  Glad this poem was able to work well that way.
