Some writing

Posted by Brett under Poetry

Pondering the imponderable You wonder if it would be so terrible to not be here You slam the door and close yourself off You feel so alone Her name is on your lips This will be the end The end of feeling useless The end of the worry The end of a life wasted That [...]

15 minutes

Posted by Brett under Poetry

Your time is over but you can’t let go So you sign up for a reality show. Trying to hold onto the life that you can’t let go The friends you had are gone, No more hangers on. The reality is a reality that nobody knows. You are slipping away and it shows. When my [...]

growing up

Posted by Brett under Poetry, life

Growing up Lying in the grass Looking up in the sky Not a care in the world A kaleidoscope of clouds They held my dreams Wish this feeling could last forever Had my friends, I had my girl. What more was there? I did not know pain I did not know loss Then the call [...]

Posted by Brett under Poetry

Three months since the phone call Three months since our life changed Three months that we can’t bring ourselves to come back. The words lack. We can’t bring him back. Afraid to face the pain, We stand outside in the rain. The say ignorance is bliss. We can’t say how much we miss you. The [...]
