Life

Life is like time.
It is a roller coaster drop.
it can end,
And most definitely stop.

I have seen light.
I can tell.
I've swam through the river,
Passing through the gates of hell.

It is hard for me to say,
Why my life has ended.
But I can tell you,
My story is not so splendid.

Do you know what love is?
Because I sure do.
Sorry to bore you,
Fore I have nothing to lose.

About a year ago,
On December 8
I first saw her,
But was in bad shape.

We had talked,
For a month or above.
And eventually,
We knew it was love.

We had just started to hug
Then eventually hold a hand.
But then out relationship,
went from a rock to sand.

10 months later,
There was a fire
it felt real,
Because she was a crier,

It was my birthday,
But I said the wrong things,
Being single was great.
But then I was quickly ashamed.

Now I sit here,
Know what I have missed,
Not because of the fire,
But due to no kiss.

I am actually submitting this for my son, Brandon. He will never do it on his own because he doesn't think it is good enough. So I decided to do it and surprise him with it.
Brandon, is very talented. This is about the fifth poem he has written. He plays the guitar and Cello. I have been telling him he needs to start turning his poems into songs. I think he'd be really good at it, and they would make good music.
All in all, I want my son, Brandon, To know how much I love him, and how proud I am of him.
