Lamentation Poem by Geno Flash

Lamentation

Just watching from a birds eye view.
You'll see that he can't take much more.
Take a look at all the tears inside,
the tears that he tried to hide.
It's nothing but a young mans lamentation.
He would not dare deny that her
death isn't what makes him cry.
And now you're wondering why.
Now looking up with a shotgun aimed so high,
trying to shoot the bird out of the sky.
And all he wants to do is find a peace within.
But no matter where he goes, there she is again.
His fear of lamentation.
You see, she loved her son truthfully.
But deep inside he couldn't agree.
That when she saw him, it was more
than he could ever be.
He slowly pushed away, and severed all the ties.
Cleverly hiding truths behind lies.
This is the seed of lamentation.
Now hurting, hurting and burning
more than she had before.
Into his face, she would slam the door.
And from right there they went their seperate ways.
Never to look back on those mournfull days.
His father had left them a long time ago.
Planting the crop that they one day would sow.
She just couldn't take it, knowing that they lied.
The pressure was building, she couldn't let it slide.
when the drugs wore off, she would begin to cry
until one day when she would suddenly die.
A mothers lamentation.
The boy became a man, through years he had grown.
The cause of her death, only he could've known.
