Poetry: Never stood a chance

You Always made me smile,

You always made me laugh,

You still make me happy,

When I think of our past.

And even though your gone,

I think of you often

and where you would be,

if you weren't in your coffin.

Now and then I think I see you,

In the car right next mine,

I realize its not,

And tears pour from my eyes.

You are my little brother,

Barley made fifteen,

I was so young too,

This world can be so mean.

And when I think,

That you never had a chance,

I cry a little more,

And wonder how long it will last.

I know you never had the chance,

To drive a car,

To turn eighteen,

I know you never had a chance,

To see your little neice.

But, who knows what you see,

As you look down from heaven,

I just wish I had the chance,

For you to be here with me.

    In my mind, there's enough

    I've run out of saints to pray to

    And God just sits there with eyes turned to the wind

    Sadness Calls

    Sadness bid's me to its side
    Causing me to frown

    I live in this sea of loneliness
    Driving away all i see

    No one
