never end...

the following was inspired in two ways...by the death of my brother...an inspiration i wish with all my heart i'd never been touched by...and, by the work of Gina Loring (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSlqlUQUc28)...a poet whose words helped me to find an opening for my own pain so long held inside...

His name was Steven Albert and he was my brother-
15 years ago he passed...
15 years ago I learned that sometimes...
sometimes you just have to realize
that they just can't...
they're caught up-their addiction too strong...
they overcome for a time...hope
they fall again...despair
and you will ride this roller coaster
with no light at the end of the tunnel...
you will ride until one day,
you get the call...
and your time will have come to get off the ride
no more hope,
no more despair...
just the knowing that
forevermore...
your mourning will never end...
his name was Steven Albert and he was my brother-
15 years ago he passed...
and my mourning
will never
end...
