My eldest bother was killed in a car accident on his way home from Uni to celebrate my father's birthday.


Just a Coin Flipped in Blood



My past fate,
Laughs,
Hysterically,
At me,
Pointing ridicule
At me,
A mocking,
Finger of fun,
Relentlessly,
Pushing me,
Over
The edge.

My life,
Spins on,
From
Fluke,
To fluke.
Just like
A coin,
Flipped
In blood.

Sheer success,
Cheered by
Hundreds.
Then knocked
Out by
Crash after
Crash.
First his,
Then mine.


We both lay
In a ditch,
But I got lucky,
And you didn't.
No logic,
Just the terrorism
Of chaos,
And the blood
Of your fate,
Smothering you.

You died,
Coming back,
To us.
The agony
Of 'If only'.
The irony
Of knowing,
You'll never
Be there,
For me,
Or even
Your
Lost children,
Like a coin,
Tossed in the
Mud,
Just a coin
Flipped in blood.
