My younger brother, Paul, writes poetry when he has some free time from his busy schedule as a Medical Doctor.

BEFORE I JUMP
Before I leap into the great beyond
That never ending fall,
Remember me
My memory says it all
Before I travel through the atmosphere
A ghost of space and time
Remember me
Forgive me for my crime
I have cried till my tears turned to blood
I have buried all my fears in the mud
Over the precipice I go, all alone
Like a meteor, the falling heart of stone
I have loved you
I have loved you
When your father turned me down, I still loved you
When he beat me to the ground, I still loved you
When the world upset my plan, still I loved you
When you found another man, still I loved you
Before I take that jump and fly away
From all the hurt and pain
Remember me
And go down memory lane
Please remember me
Please remember me
Loving you was all that made me glad
Leaving you like this makes me sad
Before I go, I hope you won’t feel bad
Forgive me dear, I think I killed your dad…
