Poems 2. By Me

Proof

By damedbx and keeperofthelist

 

My father

     My mother

          My sister

               My family

I had them all

      Now

         No more

               Before I was born

Death

      Two of them

         One- before I was born

               Two- when I passed two decades

Sadness

      How can I be said for someone I can’t remember?

         The person I can never meet

               That’s my sadness of never knowing her

Sadness

      My father

         Taught me all I know

               My passion; to never know if he approved

Memories

      All I have left are memories

         I try to remember Happy Times

               Like my tenth birthday

Today

      I found one

         He is proof of my father’s research

               He is my proof

To never give up

 

Wishes Unfulfilled

By damedbx and keeperofthelist

 

There is a gun in my hands

         POW!

         Boom

         Bang

         Click

Can I do it?

Can I pull the trigger against another human being?

Can I kill?

      To protect myself?

      To protect Molly?

Help me!

      Father, is this what you dreamed

         Of doing to save your research?

      To save what you believe in?

      Father!

               I wish we were doing this together.
