Closer

Closer

A Poem by Lady Lazarus.
"

for my brother...

"

 Come to me

closer

I'll show you the

preassure

at the back of my head

I'll find a way for

you

to be less

afraid

Beautiful boy

I can never say sorry

It is too simple for a pain such as ours


I left behind your sister a long



time ago

she's still shouting,trying to show herself

I've failed myself

but thats not hard to imagine

The only reason I don't smile is because I failed

you


we're both in this from the same bitter beginning 

I'll be here for you at the

closer.

Nice. I really liked the creative format you used, and to a great effect. If poetry was visual I would love to frame, and hang this in my study.
