Poem my friend wrote about her brother's recent death!
THE DAY November fourteenth, two thousand two Plays back in my head The memories of me and you Talking outside just like best friends Same ole same ole Not knowing today would be the end We talked about moms birthday What we would do Whatever you want sis, its up to you We discussed what I wanted for my birthday, and I said a car Ill get you a Porsche, a Ferrari, whatever you want, Of course matchbox by far I remember looking at your face You looked so handsome Gregory, so pure My baby brother so full of grace You said this would be a very special birthday for me, Twenty Five So very special, Crystal These words you said when you were alive I laughed and stated its just another day Oh no, Sis, I promise it will be special in every way We laughed, joked and talked about life You sat in YOUR chair And played with your favorite knife You told me you were just going around the block Please dont be long bubba, Keep your eyes on the clock Ill be right back sis, I love you as you shut the door Ok Greg That was it, you spoke no more Knock, knock a neighbor is here Your brothers been in an accident Hes right down there At first I saw your car and didnt think it could be true And then I saw a bloody body And your motorcycle laying next to you I ran fast, as fast as I could My baby brother This is no good Bubba, Greg are you okay You didnt move at all Oh God no, not today I see you lying there just so still Blood is everywhere, Are you alive? Oh God this is making me ill I rush up to hold you tight and give you a kiss They are pushing me away My brothers bleeding, I have to fix this! I called mom and it was all I could say Bubba, Bubba, accident Oh no Mom, and its your birthday I handed the phone to a man who stood next to me As he explained details to Mom I stood there and watched your heart bleed My body trembling as I stared at you on the ground Police, Firefighters and Ambulance But I could not hear a sound You are lying there as still as if you are asleep I have never felt so helpless All I can do is weep I swore up and down that youd be alright You may be my baby brother But youll put up a big fight I called Dad with the news and heard him cry Baby I have one question, he said Is he going to die? Out of anger I yelled, Hell No! Hes going to be okay Im not understanding this Why are they acting this way We met you at the hospital with no time to spare The nurse came in to tell us No brain waves are there Mom panicking and oh so sad She knew her baby was dying And for some reason that made me mad How can she think this when youre her baby? Have some hope Mother Tell me he is going to live, just maybe I could not take it watching her shed so many tears I need fresh air now Someone needs to get me out of here I was told that Grandpa and the church were praying for you Little did I know They were on their way too Waiting and waiting we were heartbroken The Chaplain came in That is when the painful words were spoken Dr. Lilly walked in to say Were doing all we can, I just dont think theres a chance, not this day I ran out of the room not knowing what to think This cannot be true I am feeling my heart sink The Chaplain came outside to say that Mom really needs me She is hurting so bad And wants to hold her other baby As I walk back in, Mom greets me Do you want to go see your brother, Crystal? This will be your last chance you see We walked with the nurse to head upstairs Mom is in tears And I feel like I cant even care I am just so damn confused, not understanding whats going on Greg, you are our life This is where you belong Walking to the room, Mom asked if I was going to be okay Of course I am Again, Why is she acting this way With tears in my eyes I could only proceed Doctors, Nurses running everywhere Oh my God, I dropped to my knees This is horrible; I just want to make it right I run out the doors Mom looks, I am nowhere in sight I sat outside crying, asking God how could this be You cant take my little brother He makes us a complete family I started back to the room just so I could hold your hand You are so pale sweetie Yet STILL a beautiful man I prayed to God not to take my only brother Just one more chance Please dont do this to my Mother Dads next to me screaming Oh God No I cannot believe this is happening Greg, Youre letting go I feel Moms hand touch my shoulder Whats going on here? I feel the room getting colder Mom looks at me and says, Thats it How? Where are the doctors Cant they do shit? I do still not understand, what does this mean? Hes Gone, Dr. Lilly says No, this cant be what it seems The doctor announces the time is five o five I am sorry maam Your brother did not make it alive This is the day that replays in my head TO: Gregory Thomas Temple Scott My baby Brother BY: Crystal Jo Ball
