    Poem Commentary


    My brother was an honest man living a dishonest life. The imbalance this created in him drove him to drink. However, it wasn't the alcohol that killed my brother. It was his own need to escape himself.

    Mama's Tears

    Mama's Tears

    She looked so small and fragile
    As she stood by your coffin with the lid raised.
    Like a figure made of glass.
    This time, I am afraid,
    She might really break.

    She placed her warm gentle hands
    On your cold face.
    One more time I heard her say,
    "I love you."
    Then she turned and walked away.

    You didn't love her she is sure.
    Or you wouldn't have drank your life away.

    She doesn't understand.
    You didn't love yourself enough to stay.
