To my eldest brother,killed in a car crash aged 19 on his way home from uni to celebrate my father's birthday. We never celebrated it again till he was 70!


Bobby


It's a fathomless well
Of sadness,
Every time I think of you.
Oh brother,
You wrecked my brain,
Poor, bloody mess
Slung over the motorway,
One icy morn.

You became
An angel,
I became
A ghost.
Since you stopped living,
I no longer exsisted.
Ever your shadow,
Ever your pain.

Celtic boy
Your poem touched me so much.

"You became
An angel,
I became
A ghost".

I feel these words are from my own heart.

Yes, this is one of the great tragedies that wound your heart for the rest of our life. Especially when it is so young a person who has been taken from us. You express your sorrow in a beautiful way.
