The Call ( a life changed )

A call in the night
I answer my heart slows with the news
I feel weak hardly able to stand
gathering what little strength I can
grabbing my coat on the way out
the drive is long
images flashing in my mind
this feeling I cant shake
something is very wrong
we pull up and jump from the car
running inside
I stand waiting for the news
pulled into the back room
by some faceless person
we sit fearing the worst
someone comes they say
everything and nothing
but all I can hear is
my heart in my ears
as tremors flow through my body
I ask to see
I'm guided to a small room
in it lyes my brother
my kin
I'm shaken by the sight
the boy I've known
for so long
screaming in pain
from what I cannot see
bringing myself to enter
I've never seen him like this
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN
NOT TO HIM
WHY?

I know how you feel. I have lost someone very close to me. If you ever want to talk, all of my screen names are in my profile, so IM if you ever need to. This was a great poem. I felt your pain.
