A real poem...sad but true...?

Question

My mother said 'Son you will grow up as a good man,

Make a family and have a nice little picket fence,

But don't get caged in cause the reality is,

Everyone dies, which means someone will die alone.'

I didn't understand what she meant but I knew this,

Love is a gift that only lasts one lifetime...

So I'll take it as it comes.

I'll capture a spirit in a net that I made of Spider web,

I wanna see if it can break it....for fun i guess.

I write her a poem and pinned it to her pillow,

So as she slept she could take me with here,

For fun I guess, as I wrote it in black,

I wanna feel her arms but they both are broken

When my Mother died I knew what she meant,

She spoke in broken up sentences.

"Daniel my Son, how is you heart, does it hurt like mine does,

You see your father is gone, so you have to carry on"

I wrote her a song and I sung it out of key,

It didn't matter cause it was everything to me.

I strum this guitar and I hit all these notes,

But they can't fix this heartbroken soul.

I wished my mother a great rest as she stole her last breathe,

So I picked up a dove and sent her a letter,

"Mum, remember when you said I'll be a good man....

I'm sorry that your plans have now come undone!"

Answer 1

man that was a great poem

Answer 2

That was such a good poem i liked it a lot!!!

Answer 3

Yes it is sad

but the reality is

people die everyday

and alone.  

Mom was just trying to

explain what goes on with life.

People leave without getting things done.

People take life for granted and dont realize

until its too late.

Prior to mom expiring

she would ask her son

if his heart hurts like her does

Life is also about having to take over

from another person after they go
