"This Bottle"
Location
This Bottle is full today
This Bottle is full of hate
It wants to be opened
It wants to be free
This bottle is full today
This Bottle holds back strong tears
This Bottle has seen worst fears
Its been tainted by death
Its been sealed by family
This Bottle holds back strong tears
This Bottle is not for the well
This Bottle is meant for hell
The ice on his lips
The ice on my soul
This Bottle is not for the well
This Bottle will tie you down
This Bottle is more than a frown
Death by a rope
Death as a coward
This Bottle will tie you down
This Bottle is on the verge
This Bottle is trying to burst
Hate overflowing
Hate at its rim
This Bottle is on the verge
Writers Note:
This poem was written 24 hours after having found my brother in law. He took his own life and left us with unsettle emotions that I quietly expressed through poetry. My submitting this poem represents an attemt to make something good out of what he did. It has never been shared with anyone else before today.
